Short Bio
In Aug 2017, I started as an Assistant Professor at the Delft University of Technology (TUDelft). My lab will focus on computational approaches to understand gene regulation and DNA repair, uncover disruptions involved in complex disease (especially cancer), and predict novel targets for therapy. Between 2014 and 2017 I was a postdoc in computational cancer biology with Lodewyk Wessels at the TU Delft and the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI). Prior to that I was a Marie Curie/ERCIM postdoctoral fellow in algorithmic computational biology with Gunnar Klau at the Netherlands Research Centre for Mathematics and Informatics (CWI). I did a PhD in computer science with Sara Madeira at the Technical University of Lisbon (IST and INESC-ID), during which I also spent just over a year in the lab of Yves Moreau at the University of Leuven (KU Leuven).
