Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristina Hettne is a Data Steward and Digital Scholarship Librarian with 13 years of interdisciplinary experience at Leiden University, bridging research data management, open science, and FAIR data practices. She has a strong bioinformatics and semantic web background from roles in medical research and industry, where she led multilevel omics integration, knowledge discovery projects, and AI-driven biomarker and drug-target work. Kristina combines hands-on technical expertise—developed during a PhD and early roles in text mining and pathway analysis—with policy and stewardship roles that help researchers make data reusable and open. Based in Leiden, she is skilled at turning complex biomedical data workflows into governed, discoverable assets and often operates at the intersection of research, tooling, and training. A less obvious strength is her track record of translating advanced computational methods into practical services for non-technical researchers, enabling wider adoption of FAIR principles.
