Patrick Deelen

I am a post-doctoral researcher working in the Departments of Genetics of the the University Medical Center Groningen. I have Bachelor’s degree in bioinformatics from the Hanze University Groningen and a Master’s degree in bioinformatics (cum laude) from VU Amsterdam. On May 6th 2019 I successfully defended my PhD thesis “Multi-omics strategies for detecting gene-environment interactions”. In 2021 I received the NWO VENI grant. I am primarily interested in improving the diagnostic yield of genome sequencing of patients who have a rare disease. I do this by integrating population genetics and transcriptomics.
