If I ever have the need to share something work or non work related it will be here.

First articles are published in the new +eLife journal. Do really like those "eLife digest" part that gives a laymen introduction into the field and the relevance of this current paper.

The government is seriously thinking about giving itself the opportunity to have access to any DNA related material hospitals or your gp has to fight crime. Of-course at the moment of introduction this would only be allowed for "serious" crimes but then again I think this is a dangerous move to make as it could seriously threaten the health of even the general public if people don't get treatment for some illnesses.

About me

I am a Lead Data Scientist at Microsoft in the World-Wide Data Insights CTO office focusing on cloud solutions for the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge specialising in Big Data Biology while being based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).

In my previous "academic life", I was working in Ewan Birney's research group. My main subject was understanding non-coding variation using genome-wide molecular assays, like FAIRE and CTCF, onto Human cell line populations. Another research interest was identification of whole-body phenotypes in Human MRI scans using Machine Learning techniques.

Furthermore, I'm the co-founder of Rijschoolvergelijker. The largest driving school comparison website in the Netherlands with European ambitions.
