would like to ask you to connect in order to introduce to me which
projects are on-going and what contributions I could start doing. My
motivation to ask you so is my sincere interest in bioinformatics and my
intention to get more professional coding experience through
contributing in a real-word coding project in this domain.<br><br></div><div>About myself:<br></div><div>After
my diploma in Computer Science in Patras university (Greece), I
continued in bioinformatics up to the level of PhD, grace to my
