معرفی
Julia Höglund is a Postdoctoral Researcher based at the Centre for Palaeogenetics, affiliated with the Department of Zoology at Stockholm University and collaborating with Wageningen University and Research. Her primary research focuses on genomic sequence annotation, mutational load quantification, and the role of genetic variation in evolution and disease. She works on endangered species like the arctic fox and extinct species such as the woolly mammoth.
- BSc in Biology, Lund University (2012-2015)
- MSc in Biology, Lund University (2015-2017)
- MSc in Bioinformatics, Lund University (2015-2017)
- PhD in Medical Sciences (Statistical Genetics), Uppsala University (2018-2022)
Her research spans genetic epidemiology, inflammatory disease mechanisms, and conservation genomics, with expertise in whole-genome sequencing, polygenic risk scores, and evolutionary adaptation studies. Key projects include developing the FlyCADD model for variant scoring, analyzing estradiol's genetic impact on cancer, and exploring owl vision genetics.
Recent publications reveal trends in inflammatory disease genetics (2019-2022), variant annotation (2025), and conservation genomics (2017-2019). Her work bridges computational biology, statistical genetics, and evolutionary applications.
