About me
Jake is a senior research fellow in the Systems Biology for Aging as well as the Biostatistics group.
His research focus includes in multivariate genome-wide association testing, statistical and machine learning towards omics integration to investigate genetic and environmental factors driving frailty, autism and T1D. He contributes to the following projects: FinnGen, GEMMA and DIPP/TEDDY.
After receiving his PhD (Bioinformatics) in 2018 from Tampere University, he worked for 4 years in Statistical Genetics, FIMM, University of Helsinki where he focused on development and application of multivariate genome-wide models and received a 3-year Postdoctoral researcher grant from the Research Council of Finland in 2019. His work has both focused on method implementation for omics data and analysis.
