Mina Ali
MSc, PhD
Mina has a multidisciplinary background, holding a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and two master’s degrees—one in Marketing and another in Bioinformatics. She completed both her master and PhD in Bioinformatics at Lund University, Sweden. Her expertise lies at the intersection of metabolomics, human genetics, and bioinformatics.
Mina has postdoctoral experience at the Steno Diabetes Center and the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) in Copenhagen.
She specializes in analyzing metabolite and lipid data from mass spectrometry. Additionally, she has contributed to a Precision Medicine Program for Translational Hematology, a collaboration between BRIC, DanStem, and Rigshospitalet, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, aimed at improving outcomes for blood cancer patients.
During her PhD, Mina conducted large-scale genome-wide association studies, identifying 18 independent loci linked to multiple myeloma. She further explored the functional impact of these loci through pathway and gene expression analyses, utilizing RNA-seq and microarray datasets.
