Manuela Zucknick is Professor and Director of the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Oslo's Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biostatistics. Her research integrates statistical learning with translational cancer research to advance personalized medicine through multi-omics data integration. PhD Biostatistics, Imperial College London (2008) MSc Bioinformatics, Imperial College London (2004) Diplom Statistik, University of Dortmund (2003) Her research focuses on Bayesian methods for integrating heterogeneous data sources in cancer research, particularly for drug response prediction in pharmacogenomic screens and patient prognosis. She develops structured high-dimensional regression models for 'large p, small n' problems in molecular medicine, with emphasis on incorporating prior biological knowledge into risk prediction frameworks. Her work bridges statistical methodology with clinical applications in personalized cancer therapies. Her recent publications demonstrate consistent contributions to multi-omics integration and survival modeling across diverse clinical contexts including cancer, pregnancy complications, and rheumatoid arthritis. The research shows strong methodological innovation in handling high-dimensional biological data while maintaining clinical relevance. Through the Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology, she leads collaborative projects spanning oncology, obstetrics, and rheumatology. Her work frequently involves designing statistical frameworks for pharmacogenomic screens and developing tools for biomarker discovery in complex disease settings.
