Claus Thorn Ekstrøm

I’m professor of Statistical methods in Bioinformatics at the Section of Biostatistics, Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen.

My main research focuses on

• development of statistical methods for analysis of various aspects of high-dimensional data - in particular data from various types of *omics experiments and large-scale register data.
• methods for integrative data analysis of fused data from multiple platforms, image analysis of radiology pictures, statistical genetics, causal structure learning from large-scale observational register data, life-course epidemiology, and analysis of network data for gene, social, or familial networks.
• developing methods for causal discovery for observational (in particular longitudinal) data.

Generally, I explore the possibilities of synergistic collaborative research between various fields in order to provide inspiration and creativity for statistical developments as well as novel analyses in applied fields.
