Summary
Anthony Mathelier is an associate director and computational biologist with 13 years of experience leading a research group that builds bioinformatics tools to decode gene expression regulation and its disruption in human disease. Based in Oslo, he founded and directs the Computational Biology & Gene Regulation team at NCMM (Nordic EMBL), translating multi-omics data into practical insights for cancer and other disorders. He combines deep academic roots—a PhD in bioinformatics and a Professor II appointment—with hands-on expertise in transcription factor binding prediction, promoter mapping (FANTOM5), and cis-regulatory variation analysis. His team’s work emphasizes immediately applicable software and methods, bridging open public datasets and in-house experiments. Notably, he has a sustained track record of securing renewed institutional funding and embedding computational approaches into clinical genetics through adjunct roles at Oslo University Hospital.
