I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics at Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). I am also a member of the Leiden Computational Biology Center and an affiliated faculty member at the Delft Bioinformatics Lab at Delft University of Technology.
In 2014, I spent three months at the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington (Seattle, USA) where I worked on identifying autism risk genes at Evan Eichler’s Lab. This research visit was supported by a short-term fellowship from the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and a travel award from the Leiden University Funds (LUF). From 2016 to 2019, I was a guest member of Hagen Tilgner’s lab at Weill Cornell’s The Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute.
