About me
I'm a bioinformatician and my research interests are application of advanced statistical methods, Bayesian inference, causal inference, longitudinal and time to event and machine learning algorithms in computational biology, health and medicine. I’m, also, interested in the statistical genetics and analyzing OMICs and longitudinal data from national registry and surveys.
Research description
Advanced Clustering, Regression and Classification Algorithms
Statistical Learning for OMICs data
Bioinformatics and Statistical Genetics
Longitudinal Statistical Models for high-dimensional data
Survival and Risk Modelling
Bayesian and Network Meta-analysis for GWAS
Model-based linkage and association analysis in genetic epidemiology
