Biography
Thomas Folkmann Hansen is formally trained in biochemistry and molecular biology and has worked with multiple aspects of molecular genomics, from study design, to implementation/recruitment and complex analysis of genome wide studies(SNPs and CNVs), epidemiological genetics(involving national register database), electronic patients journal and clinical database(e.g. questionnaires, 3D imaging data). Thomas Folkmann Hansen has 14 years of research experience in genomics and have a solid statistical knowledge and high lelvel skills in R, LINUX(shell), PLINK, and MySQL.
