Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristoffer Flensburg is a bioinformatician in Melbourne with 11 years’ experience applying advanced mathematics, statistics and software engineering to cancer genomics, particularly clonal tracking and analysis of CNAs and SNVs from exomes, genomes and RNA‑seq. Trained as a theoretical particle physicist (PhD) and author of a world‑leading Monte Carlo hadronic collision model, he brings rare expertise in probabilistic modelling and simulation to biological data. At WEHI he focuses on leukemia research, building robust algorithms and statistical methods informed by a physics‑style approach to uncertainty and complex systems. He has a track record of teaching and clear science communication, runs a long‑standing bioinformatics blog, and combines deep theoretical insight with practical coding to turn large noisy datasets into actionable biological hypotheses.
