Bioinformaticion & Data Analyst | Statistics, ML & Python Specialist | Life Science writer with 10+ years of research

Profile Summary

I have a background in medicine and a PhD in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, with postdoctoral research experience from Umeå University, also in Sweden. My work covers biomedical research, data science, and academic communication, and I’ve been involved in several projects applying statistical methods to large-scale biological data. I have used techniques such as descriptive statistics, LASSO, ridge regression, correlation analysis, hierarchical clustering, and multivariate modeling in EHR, transcriptomics, proteomics, genomic, metabolomic, and biomarker discovery studies. I’m comfortable working with structured and unstructured data, and I enjoy solving analytical problems using both statistical and machine learning approaches. Currently, I coordinate research activities at Umeå University, run and lead the Cancer Research School in the North.

I’ve published several first-author papers, including solo-author articles, and have 10+ years of experience in research and academic writing. My work spans grant applications, peer-reviewed manuscripts, scientific reports, and educational material. I am skilled at editing complex scientific concepts clearly and concisely, with attention to both structure and scientific accuracy. I’ve reviewed manuscripts for journals such as PLOS ONE and Current Microbiology. I’ve also worked as a scientific editor, language teacher, and translator of scientific literature. I have experience editing academic texts in medicine, biomedicine, and life sciences—both for native and non-native English speakers—and have helped researchers improve the clarity, flow, and impact of their work for publication in international journals.
