Joep

Let me briefly introduce myself,

I'm Joep de Ligt, a postdoctoral computational biologists with an intrest in research with a clear societal impact. In my view the biological data generated today is so rich no single researcher can ask all the relevant questions. To enable other researchers to ask relevant questions data and code sharing should be an integral part of a scientist's portfolio, hence this website.

Below I provide a condensed overview of my resume.
For a comprehensive overview of my publications please see my google scholar profile.
