My foundation has been mathematics and biology, particularly oncology, immunology, molecular biology, and microbial ecology. My primary focus has been breast cancer from multiple approaches. I'm also currently stationed 50% at the Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department at Karolinska Institutet

I have a lot of experience in;

- Single-cell, nuclear capture, and bulk RNA-seq
- CUT&Tag, CUT&RUN, and ChIP-seq
- Genome and exome sequencing (GWAS and SNP studies)
- Epidemiological modelling and analysis
- Advanced biostatistics methods, such as likelihood ratios, multivariate modeling, flexible parametric modeling, relative risk ratios.
- Machine learning (pattern recognition, support vector machines, random forest models).
- R and unix programming

I have some experience in;

- Methylation analysis
- ATAC-seq
- Proteomics
- Machine learning for image processing
- Other biostatistical modelling, such as Bayesian statistics and Mixed Effect models
- Python, matlab, and octave programming.
