Present position: Lab technician (Centre for Integrative Genetics, CIGENE).
Degrees: College graduate, Hedmark College, 1997; Cand. scient, Agricultural University of Norway, 2001
Professional background: Lab technician at Norwegian Pig Breeders Association/Department of Animal Science, UMB (2001-2002); Lab technician at Department of Animal Science, UMB (2002-2003); Lab technician at Centre for Integrative Genetics (CIGENE) (2003-)
Research experience: Genetic transformation of plants: In vitro plant cultures, effects of light intensity and plant hormones on plant growth, vector construction, genetic transformation using Agrobacterium tumefaciens; Molecular biology/genetics: Sample collecting and handling, DNA extraction, microsatellite analyses, QTL-mapping, DNA sequencing, sequence alignmenting, SNP detection, SNP verification, SNP typing using MassARRAY technology (Sequenom), SNPlex technology (Applied Biosystems) and Illumina technology and data analysis.
Relevant recent activity: SNP typing, both CIGENE projects (on salmon, cod, cattle and goat) and external projects (human projects on cancer, ADHD, diabetes and forensics; plant projects; fish projects). In addition DNA sequencing, microsatellite/AFLP analyses and tutoring lab methods.
