Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMorten Mattingsdal is a bioinformatics specialist with 10 years of experience applying genome assembly, annotation, population genetics and barcoding to unravel species' natural history and spatio-temporal population dynamics. He holds a PhD in Biomathematics/Bioinformatics and has blended academic research—postdoc work on multispecies coastal genomics and a PhD on genetic interpretation of bipolar disorder—with applied roles at ELIXIR and Norwegian hospitals. Currently advising on IKT at Sørlandet sykehus while also researching at Vestre Viken HF, he bridges computational method development and practical healthcare and conservation applications. Notably, his work has combined SNP-based gene-set methods with functional brain imaging and protein interaction networks, revealing biologically coherent signals such as estrogen-activated gene enrichments. Based in Agder, Norway, he brings a rare mix of statistical genetics, software-enabled pipelines and domain insight into both human and ecological genomics.
