Join our Team
We are a diverse and multidisciplinary research team with backgrounds ranging from physics to medicine. By working together (and in tight collaboration with other labs), we complement each other's expertise and compensate for our respective skill gaps. If you are interested in joining us, feel free to contact Bart Hoogenboom with a brief expression of your interest in our lab and a curriculum vitae of maximum 2 pages (including a list of selected publications if appropriate).
