Sina Rostami is a postdoc in the project "The importance of obesity and circulating small RNAs in the development of uterine cancer". He also works as a part-time researcher at the School of Pharmacy at the University of Oslo, and is involved in planning and performing genetic analyses of participants in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). He has an interest in the epidemiology, genetic epidemiology and systems biology of complex diseases including cancer. Rostami received his PhD in medicine from NTNU at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2020. He has a background from cell and molecular biology, and has worked with projects related to epidemiology, immunology and virology of viral infections, influenza and hepatitis.
Sina Rostami is a postdoc in the project "The importance of obesity and circulating small RNAs in the development of uterine cancer". The main objective of the project is to investigate the role of small RNAs in the development of uterine cancer using pre-diagnostic samples from the Janus serum bank. The project builds on an ongoing study "JanusRNA- identification of previous biomarkers for cancer" and " Janus serum bank".

The title of his doctoral project was 'Construction and evaluation of the performance of genetic risk scores for ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and myocardial infarction in the Norwegian population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT)'. The project was based on data from HUNT linked to the Norwegian Cardiovascular Disease Registry and the Cause of Death Registry.
He has a background from cell and molecular biology, and has worked with projects related to epidemiology, immunology and virology of viral infections, influenza and hepatitis.
