Research description Software implementations allowing new approaches toward data analysis, modeling and integration / Curation of biological knowledge for Systems Medicine

I am currently enrolled in the PhD programme in Medical Technology, while being a member of the multidisciplinary DrugLogics group in the department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine (St. Olav’s University Hospital). I have a mixed mathematics, computer science and software engineering background. My interests include:

Modeling of molecular networks and cancer cell systems
The study of mathematical models that describe drug synergies
Understanding the underlying mechanisms of synergistic drug combinations
Reproducible research, data analysis and visualization with R
Research software engineering

Background

Education: M.Eng in Electrical and Computer Engineering, MSc in Computer Science.
