Scientific Activities in the Different Sub-Projects

NTNU Health DrugLogics:
I am involved in the assembly of a cell-fate network that can be used to predict drug combination effects. These predictions are then further validated in collaboration with others using High- and low throughput methods. To inform the cell-fate network, biomarker data is obtained from databases. Additionally, I am involved in obtaining biomarker data from exosomes that can be used to inform the model.
