Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHåkon Kaspersen is a senior researcher and bioinformatician with eight years' experience applying genomics, statistics and R-driven visualization to antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Norwegian livestock and clinical settings. After a PhD focused on quinolone-resistant E. coli, he continues postdoctoral research at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute investigating AMR in Klebsiella using phylogenetics, resistance-gene profiling and epidemiological inference. Comfortable with hands-on molecular lab work as well as large-scale sequencing analyses, he blends wet-lab intuition with reproducible bioinformatics pipelines. He maintains an active GitHub (github.com/hkaspersen) and is especially interested in clear data visualization and robust statistical approaches to pathogen genomics.
