Senior🎓
Top SchoolBas Dutilh is a professor and computational biologist specializing in bioinformatics methods for microbiome modeling, metagenomics, virus discovery, comparative genomics, and biostatistics. He combines a strong academic track record—including a 2007 PhD and prestigious awards (NWO Veni/Vidi, ERC Consolidator, Clarivate Highly Cited)—with a practical focus on bacteria and bacteriophages and their ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Across roles at Utrecht, Radboud, Jena and international visits, he has bridged algorithm development and wet-lab/field studies to accelerate biological discovery. Known for signature-gene and cross-assembly approaches, he routinely applies computational insights to guide experimental design and probe predictions. Based in Germany, he mentors students and leads research that repeatedly uncovers novel viral diversity and interaction patterns in microbial communities.
