Dhouha Grissa

Dhouha Grissa serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, specializing in Preclinical Disease Biology. Her research applies advanced data mining and knowledge extraction techniques to biomedical challenges, with primary focus on early detection of alcoholic liver fibrosis through analysis of medical records and metabolomic data.

Education:

• PhD in Computer Science, University of Clermont-Auvergne, France (awarded November 2, 2013)

Research Interests: Dr. Grissa's work integrates bioinformatics, machine learning, and computational biology to develop knowledge discovery frameworks for metabolomic and clinical data. She specializes in identifying predictive biomarkers for disease progression, particularly in alcoholic liver disease, through hybrid analytical approaches combining text mining, process mining, and multi-omics integration.

Publication Trends: Her recent publications (2020-2022) reveal a consistent trajectory in applying data integration and knowledge extraction to biomedical databases and clinical registries. Key themes include disease-gene association mapping, GWAS analytics for drug target illumination, and exploratory metabolomic analysis—all converging on improving disease prediction models and understanding pathophysiological mechanisms.

Advising and Grants: No specific information regarding student advising or grant funding was provided in the source material.

Labs and Teams: Dr. Grissa is embedded within the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research and actively contributes to the EU-funded Galaxy project, which develops integrated systems models for multi-omics and clinical data analysis using resources like the Danish National Patient Registry.
