Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonas Demeulemeester is a biochemist and computational biologist with ~10 years of experience leading integrative genomics research at VIB–KU Leuven, where he heads the Integrative Genomics Lab focused on single-molecule and single-cell multi-omics. He blends wet‑lab insight from a PhD on retroviral integration and drug discovery with postdoctoral expertise in pan‑cancer and single‑cell omics to build novel computational pipelines that illuminate tumour heterogeneity and evolution. His group pushes emerging technologies to spatial and time‑series resolutions and interrogates understudied phenomena such as extrachromosomal DNA, RNA editing, and translation in cancer. Known for translating large-scale ICGC/PCAWG analyses into tractable methods, he connects methodological rigor with biological curiosity to tackle hard problems in tumour dynamics. Based in Leuven, Belgium, he retains an uncommon mix of structural virology background and large‑scale cancer genomics that informs both tool development and hypothesis‑driven discovery.
