We believe good research rests on three pillars: clear questions, rigorous design, and honest reporting.

Our Approach

Frameshift was founded by Ragnar P. Kristjánsson and Ólafur B. Davíðsson, researchers with PhDs from the University of Copenhagen. Our leadership bridges the gap between deep technical science, including population genetics and biobanking, and high-level biotech strategy.

We are a small team by design. By keeping experienced scientists directly involved in every project, we remain flexible, precise, and deeply connected to the data.

We believe good research rests on three pillars: clear questions, rigorous design, and honest reporting. We build every project around these principles, combining academic expertise with the practical insight that only comes from years of active, hands-on research.
