About

In the K.G. Jebsen Center for Genetic Epidemiology I do research on the connections between genetics, proteomics, microbiota, and different phenotypes, in particular bone mineral density, bone fractures and osteoporosis. This is based on data from the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) and other population based surveys. I am also involved in research on mutations and gene expression in cancer, especially multiple myeloma.

My background is from mathematics and bioinformatics. I am also involved in the Bioinformatics Core Faciltiy and in Elixir, the bioinformatics infrastructure network.
