Author Biography

Carsten Wiuf obtained his PhD in mathematical biology from the University of Aarhus in 1998. Afterwards he spent 4 years in Oxford at the Departmetn of Statistics before joining a biotech company in Boston. In 2003 he became Professor of Bioinformatics at the University of Aarhus. He has co-authored the book Gene Genealogies, Variation and Evolution (OUP).

Claus L. Andersen earned his PhD in cancer biology from the University of Aarhus in 2002. In 2002, he became an assistant professor at the University of Aarhus and later in 2005 an associate professor. Today he is heading the colorectal cancer research group at the Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory, Aarhus University Hospital.

Both have worked on informatics approaches to the analysis of molecular cancer data and have practical as well as theoretical experience with development of bioinformatics and statistical methods for analysis of molecular data.
