✨ I am a biologist turned geneticist and bioinformatician interested in cardiovascular disease with a passion for ✨ OpenScience ✨
🔭 My research interest is focused on the genetic causes of atherosclerosis underlying cardiovascular diseases. With my work I ultimately aim to move from genetic loci identified in large-scale genome-wide association studies to novel therapeutic targets and (surrogate) biomarkers for atherosclerotic diseases through extensive in silico, and in vitro modelling.
👯 I’m always happy to collaborate on any subject mixing atherosclerotic disease with genetics.
