PhD Student in Bioinformatics

Development of methods for cancer detection from cell-free DNA in blood samples:

When cells die, fragments of their DNA may enter the blood stream. This DNA is extracted from blood plasma and whole-genome sequenced. General differences in fragment distributions of healthy and sick subjects are used to detect cancer.

R Package Development

Development of open source R packages such as groupdata2, cvms, rearrr and xpectr.

Have written multiple tutorials and book chapters. What good are tools if no one can use them?

Music Production

Når Du Går by FLÕR (EP, 2023)
