PeerJ Editor & Reviewer

Summary

I am a molecular and cellular biologist with a long experience in non-coding RNAs (in particular microRNAs). My main interest is about computational biology. Currently, I am a member of the Brunak lab at the NNF Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen and I'm also an affiliated member of the Computational Biology Lab at the Danish Cancer Society in Papaleo lab. I am working on data integration of omics data, electronic patients records, analysis of laboratory tests and drug effects in cancer patients.

I am also interested in non-invasive biomarkes. In 2012 I designed and developed the miRandola database (https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/46/D1/D354/4191335), the first extracellular circulating microRNA database.

Postdoc

University of Copenhagen

January 2016

Translational Disease Systems Biology, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research

My focus for the postdoc position is about application of systems biology approaches in cancer research. I use national patient registries and additional data to stratify cancer patients. I also collaborate with other groups and within the lab for different analyses covering the following topics: network biology, RNA-seq, non-coding RNAs, human genetics.
