Summary
Robin Van Schendel is a Senior Staff Scientist with 10 years of experience combining bioinformatics, wet-lab genetics, and software development at Leiden University Medical Center. He analyzes large-scale sequencing datasets (amplicon, WGS, RNA-seq) and builds Shiny R applications that empower bench scientists to explore bespoke views of their data. His research focuses on mutational signatures using C. elegans as a compact, human-relevant model to dissect DNA repair mechanisms, and he supervises and teaches biomedical students including a Medical Genetics course. Trained in technical computer science (TU Delft) and molecular biology (Hogeschool Leiden), he uniquely bridges engineering-grade tooling with hands-on experimental insight.
