I have been working as an staff engineer at CIGENE (www.cigene.no) since June 2019. Our main focus is on high throughput genotyping from various species.

My main responsibility is to analyse samples from different species at the Affymetrix platform, which is a DNA Microarray system using GeneChip arrays.

I have previous extensive experience in forensic genetics – extraction of DNA from casework samples sent by the police, real time PCR, end point PCR (STRs), capillary electrophoresis and analysis of DNA profiles. I have also experience from medical genetics – Sanger sequencing, MLPA, Southern blot, FISH and microscopy/chromosome analysis.
