CRIG member
Clinical laboratory geneticist, Center for Medical Genetics (UZ Gent)
Principal investigator: prof. Kathleen Claes (PhD)
Research focus
- the molecular genetics of disorders of somatic mosaicism: identifying somatic variants in hamartomas (benign (non-cancerous) growth of tissues)
- molecular genetic analysis of primary immune deficiencies including lymphoma
- providing scientific guidance and expert advice to the Lab for Cancer Predisposition and Precision Oncology (supervised by prof. dr. Kathleen Claes), supporting their work with evidence-based insights and technical expertise
Biography
I obtained a Master in Biomedical Sciences (KU Leuven, June 2014). After obtaining my master degree followed by some working experience in biotech industry (Sanofi), I started in 2017 with a PhD in the lab of Professor Bert Callewaert. I mainly focused on the use of zebrafish as a model for rare hereditary connective tissue disorders and next-generation sequencing techniques to identify novel disease genes. In June 2021 I obtained my PhD degree, and immediately after that I reoriented my professional goals and became a lab supervisor within the center of medical genetics (supervised by prof. dr. Kathleen Claes).
