Summary
Frederik Van Den Broeck is a Senior Project Manager based in Brussels with 15+ years translating molecular epidemiology and parasite genomics into practical digital health solutions. He leads multidisciplinary teams at Bluesquare to build AI- and data-driven tools for infectious disease surveillance and malaria intervention planning, drawing on a rare combination of hands-on genomics research and product delivery. His career—anchored by an FWO fellowship, a Boehringer Ingelheim award, and extensive post‑doc work on Leishmania, Trypanosoma and viral pathogens—gives him deep credibility in integrating high-throughput sequencing, phylogenetics and geospatial data into policy-ready tools. Recently upskilled with a postgraduate in Applied AI, he bridges advanced analytics and pragmatic implementation across country programs. Outside work he mines insights from nature, travel and sport, often using those perspectives to spark creative approaches to complex public health problems.
