Tess Bonato obtained her bachelor degree in Biology in 2017 at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland). During her bachelor, she made an internship where she worked on the role of messenger workers in the transmission of information. She was class representative, member of the faculty council and association of biology students, and she was very active in the student life.
She has a great interest for programming and statistics, so she started studying Bioinformatics in the master of Molecular Life Sciences of the same university in 2018. After a first project in the evolutionary-functional genomics group, Tess joined the statistical genetic group for her master thesis. Under the supervision of Zoltán Kutalik, Tess’ project focuses on privacy risk of sharing aggregate genomic information.
