Personal profile

Primary fields of research

I conduct research on forensic genetic issues, focusing on using comprehensive genetic analyses in forensic genetic and forensic medical contexts. A typical challenge involves analyzing highly degraded samples, such as biological traces from crime scenes of very poor quality.

  • Human identification with comprehensive genetic analyses (shotgun sequencing)
  • Forenic investigative genetic genealogy

In addition, I also research molecular autopsy/sudden unexpected death using methylome, RNA-transcriptome, and genome analyses, as well as studies on skin cancer, melanoma, and atopic dermatitis.

Inherited cardiac diseases

The genetics of externally visible characteristic including pigmentation (hair, skin, and eye colours)

Prediction of genetic ancetsry using ancetral informative marker (AIMs)

-Implementation of externally visible characteristic analyses in forensic genetics

Skin cancer, melanoma og atopic dermatitis

Current research

Forensic investigative genetic genealogy

Shotgun sequencing of extremely degraded samples for human identification and forensic DNA intelligence

RNA analyses in forensic genetics for human identification and tissue type determination

Epigenetic analyses in forensic genetics for predicting age and lifestyle factors (forensic DNA intelligence)

Knowledge of languages

English and German
