Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Deelen is a postdoctoral researcher and geneticist with 13 years of experience specializing in genetics and transcriptomics, focused on pinpointing disease-associated variants and unraveling their molecular mechanisms. Based at the University Medical Center Groningen, he progressed from internships and bioinformatics roles to a PhD and ongoing postdoc work, blending hands-on NGS data analysis with statistical genetics like eQTL and epistatic interaction studies. He combines computational skills (including early Java-based NGS tooling) with experimental insight, enabling cross-disciplinary projects that trace variants from association to mechanism. Patrick also has teaching experience in bioinformatics and a strong academic training with a master's in bioinformatics and a doctorate from the University of Groningen. Notably, his career shows a consistent thread of translating complex genomic signals into testable biological hypotheses across tissues and contexts.
