I'm bioinformatician especially interested in the microbiome, bacterial genetics and phenotype-genotype associations. Currently I'm working as a senior research scientist in the bioinformatic and modelling department at Chr Hansen. Before that I worked as a bioinformatic scientist at CHIP-Persimune. I did work on virus genetics and the human Microbiome in relation to infectius diseases.Before Persimune I did work as an industrial Postdoc at Chr. Hansen and the Bioinformatics Centre at the University of Copenhagen for three years. The aim of my project was to optimize the production conditions for bacterial fermentations using DNA and RNA sequencing and bioinformatics. Besides that I did help out with other bioinformatics and sequencing projects at Chr. HansenI finished my Phd in bioinformatics in may 2014. The topic of my Phd was transcriptional regulation and alternative promoter usage in mammals. The aim was to to gain new knowledge about gene regulation by attacking the problem from a lot of different angles. I have examined the influence of histone modifications on PolII recruitment, elongation and stalling, the retention of transcription factor binding sites and the use of alternative promoters when you disturb a system. For the different projects, I have used machine learning methods, the result from high throughput sequencing experiments and scripting. I have taken courses in pharmaceutical bioinformatics, machine learning and molecular biology.Skils and competences: • Bioinformatics• Variant calling for prokaryotes and eukaryotes• Metagenomic analysis• Analysis and interpretation of RNA-seq data• Microarray analysis• Assembling and functional annotation of bacterial genomes• Visualization of data using R, ggplot2, Circos and R-shiny• Database design and management • Machine learning• Automation of computational pipelines and daily tasks• R, Ruby, Python and Bash scripting• Statistical analysis using R• miRNA• epigenetics• Gene regulation• Transcription factors• Analysis of CAGE data• Analysis of High throughput data
