I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Statistical Genetics Unit at the Pasteur Institute. I earned my PhD in Structural Biochemistry from Utrecht University, where I focused on characterizing cell adhesion proteins essential for brain wiring. My interdisciplinary background spans biochemistry, neuroscience, and structural biology, with previous research experience collaborating on rational drug design and neuronal signaling projects. At Pasteur, my current work centers on leveraging statistical genetics to inform future drug development.
