Postdoctoral Researcher, PharmD, Ph.D.
National Centre for Register-based Research, Aarhus University
Aarhus, Denmark
I am an interdisciplinary researcher with training in clinical pharmacy and current expertise in statistical genetics and applied bioinformatics. My work focuses on computational and statistical methods for complex human disease — particularly polygenic modelling, fine-mapping, and gene–environment analysis of large-scale genomic and register-based data.
