I work as Project Manager at Karolinska Institutet (Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics) and I am involved in national and EU projects related to informatics infrastructures for biomedical research and biobanking (BioMedBridges, BiobankCloud, RD-Connect, B3Africa). I have a background in computer engineering and informatics and I have experience in high-throughput data and bioinformatics, biobank data management, data harmonization and integration, project management from conception to execution and sustaining, as well as teaching at university level. I’m a fervent believer in the creed of open-source, open-access and open-science as the driving forces of contemporary science.

I have a background in computer and software engineering. I mainly work in the areas of biobanking and research management, LIMS, bio-resource cataloguing, integration of heterogeneous databases and unstructured data, experienced in designing and developing informatics systems for biomedical research/health sciences, etc. I am working as a System Developer at Karolinska Institutet.

 

I currently work as a data manager/bioinformatician at Group Palotie (Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland, FIMM).  I have a background in biological sciences and I also have experience in data sciences and bioinformatics, in efforts to automate and facilitate biological data analysis. During my two post-doctoral projects, I have mainly worked with NGS data from microorganisms, focusing on de novo genome sequencing of fungi and metagenomics of environmental samples.
