Summary
David Van Ijzendoorn is an MD/PhD-trained pathology resident and postdoctoral researcher who applies bioinformatics and machine learning to translational sarcoma research. With a decade of experience spanning Stanford, Leiden University Medical Center, Harvard, and Oxford, he bridges molecular biology, single-cell and long-read sequencing, and computational analysis. He led cross-disciplinary projects at Stanford—optimizing 10x single-cell and PacBio pipelines—and secured a personal research grant from the Hanarth Fund while earning a CTOS Young Investigator Award. As a co-founder of EvidenceHunt he has hands-on experience translating research tools toward real-world use. Based in Amsterdam, he combines clinical training with deep computational expertise to accelerate molecular insights into sarcoma treatment. Colleagues note his ability to move projects from wet lab optimization to machine-learning-driven interpretation.
