About

Starting from the 1st of March, I will be working as a PhD student within the Franke lab, Department of Genetics within the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG). Here I will be studying non-coding somatic mutations and their functional downstream consequences in lymphoma.

I have recently completed my Master thesis at Ancora Health on “The Effect of Pharmacogenetics on the Response to Lipid-lowering Therapy with Statins”. Because of signed NDAs I, unfortunately, cannot put this thesis on my website.

I have worked as a student-assistant at the Bachelor of Bioinformatics from the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, where I was also a student in the master program Data Science for Life Sciences.

Before this, I worked on a research collaboration with Daan F. van den Berg and Franklin L. Nobrega on the DefenseSystemFinder tool.

I finished my Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics at the HAN University of Applied Sciences in Nijmegen.

I did my Bachelor End Project at Naturalis in the analysis of automatic insect camera data. This project involved the detection, tracking, segmentation, identification and biomass estimation of insects with the use of deep learning.

As part of my bachelor in Bioinformatics I did a minor in Sensor System Engineering at the Hanze Institute of Technology.

Before this I worked as an Bioinformatics Intern at Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, TU Delft – Brouns lab. Here I developed DAGGER, a tool for the interactive graph-based visualization of genome architecture comparisons.

I have also worked briefly (three months) as a front-end PHP developer at Omnext.
