Profile: Recently graduated biologist, specialized in molecular biology and bioinformatics. Highly motivated to find solutions to complex scientific issues, using different advanced fields of research such as bioinformatics. Looking forward to learning new skills and applying the latest scientific knowledge and personal insights in an ever evolving scientific environment.
Education:
1996- 2002 Msc. Biology WUR, Wageningen, The Netherlands
Thesis subjects: Molecular Ecology (5 months): “Isolation and characterization of three dominant strains from microbial communities” Application of different selection methods and analysis tools such as DGGE, PCR and anaerobic growth techniques. Main Supervisor: Dr. Erwin Zoetendal.
Bacterial Genetics (6 Months): “Filling gaps in the pirimidine metabolism” Functional characterization of an ubiquitous protein family; several genes have been cloned and overexpressed. The resulting proteins were purified and tested.
1990- 1996 VWO Almere college, Kampen
Exam subjects: Math, physics, chemistry, biology and economy.
Work Experience
2002-2005 Small business manager, making photographic tile and stone murals. The skills were learnt in San Diego (www.phototileandstone.com) and production of custom order tile and aluminum pieces was started in the Netherlands. Consultant for a new location of Phototileandstone in Las Vegas (2005). This was combined with various temporary jobs in The Netherlands.
2001- 2002 Internship Bioinformatics: Genome annotation of Lactobacillus plantarum (4 months). NIZO food research Ede, CMBI Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Annotation of sugar transport proteins in the first Dutch genome sequence. For this project many software sources for linux and windows were used, as well as some custom programming in python. Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Roland Siezen.
2001 Internship Bioinformatics: prediction of gene function (3 months). EMBL Heidelberg, Germany. Sequence annotation project at the bioinformatics division of van Peer Bork. Prediction of protein structure and function based on complete genome sequences and metabolic data. Supervisor: Dr. Martijn Huynen.
1992- 2003 Ferry employee, Arriva, Genemuiden The Netherlands.
1999 Research Associate (literature research) Water supply company Amsterdam.
