More Information

"In 2008 I was appointed associate professor at the department of human genetics in Nijmegen, with genomic disorders as the main focus. My group was the first in the world to implement microarray-based diagnostic genome profiling in mental retardation and the first to identify a disease gene with this approach. My work focuses on understanding genomic variation in health and disease, with a particular interest in the role of genomic copy number variation in mental retardation. For this work we use state-of-the-art genomics technologies and novel bioinformatic approaches."
