About me

Erik Fasterius, PhD

I am a bioinformatician and scientist working mainly with computational biology, pipeline development and advanced training. I come from a background in biotechnology and thus have an understanding of both bioinformatics and the underlying biology. I have experience working with software development, machine learning, cancer biology, drug screening and cell line authentication. I am also very interested in reproducibility and data visualization.

I am analytically minded, thorough and enjoy problem-solving at all levels. I have always liked sharing my knowledge with others, be that through more traditional teaching avenues or through corridor-conversations with colleagues. Learning new things is something I have always appreciated. I'm creative, adaptable and social.

At my current workplace, the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS), I offer advanced bioinformatic support and guidance to life science researchers in Sweden through the SciLifeLab community. My current focus involves transcriptomics and its applications in bulk and single cell RNA sequencing, as well as several pipeline development projects using Nextflow and nf-core. I am also engaged in advanced computational biology and data analysis training at the European level through ELIXIR. My work at NBIS allows me to help life science researchers in Sweden bring their projects to completion with tailor-made bioinformatics solutions.
