My current research focuses on development and applications of statistical
and computational methods for cancer genomics data. I closely collaborate
with Professor Yudi Pawitan to develop various bioinformatics software
for analysing sequencing data in Biostat Wiki (https://www.meb.ki.se/sites/biostatwiki/). Most of the tools are
developed and in R, Rshiny and C/C++.
*Research areas*
- Development of methods to detect non-coding RNAs including gene fusion,
and circular RNAs from RNA sequencing data
- Models to discover driver alterations in cancer
- Models to predict drug responses of tumours
- Methods to analyse single-cell sequencing data
*Research grants*
My research is supported by the Swedish Research Council, CancerFonden, and Karolinska
