Lude Franke

Lude Franke (lude@ludesign.nl) is a statistical geneticist working on the development and application of computational algorithms to functional genomics datasets. He has gained funding from ERC, NWO, and a Horizon Grant. He is also a graphic designer (see his PhD thesis design). This chance combination of skills can sometimes make life as a genetics/bioinformatics researcher a bit easier: if you can explain your research visually, more people can understand what you are doing. See a short film explaning his work on DNA (in Dutch) here and an interview with Lude about his work (in Dutch) here.
