Neuronova 2001 - 2008 When I joined (June 2001) the company, it had been operational for about a year and had no bioinformatics activity. I was employed to handle cDNA expression data from brain stem cells. In the process I built a DNA sequence database using MySQL with a web interface in Perl. This was done the first year on a Linux Mandriva computer using an Apache webserver. Since then, I have been expanding and revising the initial database and included functions to handle all data produced in the Target Discovery process. I have supervised three Master Thesis students in building the Cell database part, Sequence database and Business information database. Today these databases (together with Firewall logging DB, Lead compound DB, Target DB) are integrated parts of our DiscoverySuite that handles all data produced at the company. Raw data is downloaded from special equipment. It is also used to analyze and extract information from the databases. In the system we are using a centralized Active Directory for user administration. The system is built in Perl using CVS to handle multiple developer cooperation. It is using the modular build up using objects to access the underlying data. Every night an automatic download of relevant data from public sources is done and integrated into the system using e-mail alerts to report from the monitoring process. The system is run on a Red Hat Linux server and developed on two Linux workstations. Today I am responsible for the bioinformatics system handling all our research data but also for the entire IT infrastructure, making sure we have the correct hardware at every level, handling contacts with consultants regarding special implementations, etc. I have good knowledge of Perl (object oriented), MySQL, Apache, Windows server, Firewall and Network administration. I also have some experience of PHP, java,C++ and Joomla.

The genome region around the human ZFY gene were sequenced, analyzed and compared with the homolog, ZFX, on the X chromosome. I planed the project, bought the equippement decided what methods to use. I taught the group members the techniques and organized the work.

1996 - 1997, PostDoc, Medical Genetics, University of Uppsala, Sweden. Projects: Research focused on cloning of MHC-DRB in seals and MHC from other species.
