Welcome to my homepage. I am a Professor in Bioinformatics at the Computational Biology Unit and the Department of Informatics at the University of Bergen (CV). My overall research interest is to develop and apply statistical and machine learning approaches to understand how genetic, epigenetic and gene expression variation cause variation in complex traits and diseases in human. If you are interested in joining my group, check for current vacancies, or send me an email.
