Hi, I’m Torben, and I’m afraid that I am a little late with my blog post (my apologies for that)! Lately, I was introduced by one of my supervisors with the words “He’s one of the cancer guys”. I still find this a little awkward, but I reckon that this expression describes me quite well. I started developing to be a “cancer guy” since working for my master’s project at University of Potsdam where I analysed gene expression data of colorectal cancer samples. I studied bioinformatics in my masters and what fascinated me most was network theory (I hope I can talk about that in future posts).
