Niclas heads the NBIS Data Management team, that strives to support and train Swedish Life Science researchers to apply good Data Management practices so that the research outputs produced are available to the global research community, and to society at large, according to the principles of Open Science, Reproducible Research, and FAIR.
Niclas got a PhD in Microbiology (Bovine Papillomavirus molecular biology) a long time ago, after which he realized that it would be better for mankind and his own sanity if he stayed away from the lab. After working as a bioinformatics teacher and doing a postdoc at the Sanger Centre (now Sanger Institute), he moved into the corporate world at AstraZeneca, where he stayed for 11 years. At AstraZeneca he has worked with (bio)informatics, Lean, project management and people management. After AstraZeneca closed down their research facility in Södertälje, Niclas worked with process improvement at the National Genomics Infrastructure, before taking on the role of Data Manager at NBIS.
