About me

  • I have received my PhD at Karolinska Institute in the field of Epigenetics
    and Bioinformatics under the supervision of Professor Karl Ekwall.
    My first post-doctoral work at Department of molecular Biochemistry and
    Biophysics was guided by Professor Sten Linnarsson and Professor Ptrik
    Ernfors where I was involved in analyzing high-throughput sequencing data
    such as RNAseq, miRNA and Single-cell RNA sequencing.
    My second post-doctoral work at the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition
    in the "Estrogen signaling research group" headed by Professor Karin
    Dahlman-Wright.
    After finishing my postdoctoral work I have worked as a Bioinformatics
    Researcher in close collaboration with the Strategic Research Programme in
    Diabetes (SRP) and the Karolinska Institute core facility for Bioinformatics
    and Expression Analysis (BEA, www.bea.ki.se).
    At present I am working as a Senior Bioinformatics Researcher at Childhood
