After academic experiences in molecular microbiology throughout her earlier international career, Rachel is settled down to public health and citizen science efforts via her Swiss association, AGiR! – Action for Genomic integrity through Research! She is also project leader, biosafety officer, and co-president (with Vanessa Lorenzo) of Hackuarium, an open public lab which hopes to democratize science for all. Her passion is the dynamic sub-cellular molecular 'dance' which allows our cells to thrive, and she enjoys helping others explore challenges in quantitative microbiology and find solutions to problems.
