About me

Hello World, my name is Alexander Turco, thanks for checking out my website! I wrote this website using react and tailwindcss as a means of bettering my Javascript skills while also finding a cool way to share some of the projects I have been involved in (because resumes are boring). I am currently a graduate student at the University of Toronto pursuing a Masters degree (MSc) in Medical Biophysics. Prior to my undergrad, the thought of programming had never crossed my mind as I believed my interests in biology would keep me far away from any code. I was introduced to bioinformatics and have not looked back. I now have the best of both worlds and am able to combine my love of biology with my love of programming to better understand the genome.
