I'm Lead Bioinformatician at the Department of Neurology of the Helsinki University Hospital. I work on several projects related to the microbiota-gut-brain axis. These projects are primarily related to Parkinson’s disease. I'm also concurrently located as a Visiting Scholar (postdoctoral researcher) at the DNA Sequencing and Genomics Laboratory of the Institute of Biotechnology (University of Helsinki), where I made my PhD in Genetics. I work with 16S rRNA gene amplicon, shotgun metagenomics, metabolomics, and other 'omics data in a medical context.
I have wide-ranging interests. When possible, I like to approach research from a multidisciplinary perspective. This can be seen from my academic background history in Geology (Environmental Geology, Geotechnics, Engineering Geology, Land Use Planning, Environmental Impact Assessment, Geological Risk Assessment, Coastal Processes, Hydrogeology) and Biology (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Ecology, Microbial Ecology). My experience with a wide range of techniques and methods in both wet-lab and statistical data analysis puts me in a unique position to tackle a wide variety of multidisciplinary research topics.
So far, my main research focus has been on the human microbiome in health & disease, focusing on statistical inference. I did my PhD thesis on the human microbiome in Parkinson's Disease and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, but I'm involved in several other biomedical projects as well. I've worked with the skin, oral, nasal, gut, and bile microbiomes in the context of various diseases and medical conditions. Several of our project pipelines (from DNA/RNA isolation, DNA/RNA library creation, and DNA/RNA sequencing, to bioinformatic processing of the raw sequence data and data analysis) have been completely done in-house at the DNA Sequencing Lab, allowing us to fully control the project pipeline from beginning to end and thus ensure their quality and consistency right from the planning stage.
