About me

I am a 1st year PhD in Tim Coorens’ group at EBI in Cambridge (UK), where I will focus on computational analysis of single-cell and spatial mutational data to uncover human development and disease origins. How exactly humans develop is a question that fascinates me, from the scale of cells to evolutionary history.

Previously, I completed degrees in bioinformatics and systems biology in the Netherlands (BSc in Nijmegen, MSc in Amsterdam), and graduated with a MSc thesis with co-supervised by Oliver Stegle (DKFZ, Heidelberg) and Omer Bayraktar (Wellcome Sanger, Cambridge).

Following graduation, I continued working as a bioinformatician in the Bayraktar group. Here, I analysed high-throughput single cell and spatially resolved transcriptomics to uncover mechanisms behind neurodevelopment, spinal cord injury and glioblastoma.
