My background is in chemistry & bioinformatics and since the beginning of my career teaching and coordination of training and education activities have always been a main focus. I have extensive experience in initiating and managing bioinformatics education projects at institute, national and international level. Target audiences for these projects include high school students and teachers, BSc & MSc students, PhD students and other life science researchers. Currently I am leading the Training Programmes of DTL/ELIXIR-NL and the BioSB Research School for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. Furthermore I am co-leading the ELIXIR Training Platform.
