Profiel
As the bioinformatician of the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, I am part of the Research Priority Area Systems Biology of the University of Amsterdam. We are interested in unraveling the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of complex biological systems. By integrating multi-omics and meta-omics data derived from next- and third-generation sequencing technologies, we aim to elucidate the genomic basis of species interactions and the environmental drivers of community dynamics.
Research
Working on a project basis, I guide and support scientists, postdocs and PhD-students from IBED with bioinformatic analyses of their -omics data. Depending on project needs, my contribtion can consist of advise on experimental design and analyses, development and benchmarking of bioinformatics pipelines, analyses and integration of sequencing data, and / or facilitating open science through the publication of data and tools. If your project needs support in e.g. comparative -omics, population -omics or meta -omics? - Please don't hesitate to contact me!
Education
To ensure that cutting-edge bioinformatic approaches are also embedded in the IBED curriculum, I develop teaching material for practicals and assignments. In addition, I offer on-demand workshops in bioinformatic methods for students and scientists, such as the analyses of amplicon sequencing data using QIIME2. As a board member of the Amsterdam Science Park Study Group, I contribute to Data and Software Carpentry courses. If you want to propose a topic for a workshop, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Infrastructure
To meet the high computational needs of bioinformatics research, IBED has access to several High Performance Computer clusters, including Genseq and Lisa. I maintain the IBED accounts, and help with installing programs and running analyses on the GenSeq cluster. In addition, I provide SystemAdmin support for Linux machines at IBED. To ensure that IBED is ready for increasing demands for FAIR research data storage, I am involved in the iRODS pilot of SURF.
