Hanneke van Deutekom new head of bioinformatics at Genome Diagnostics in UMC Utrecht
After a PhD and a postdoc position in the bioinformatics field, I left science to work for a company that makes products for in vitro diagnostic use. At this company I was able to use my (bioinformatics) knowledge, but also to learn about managing a team and software products. Here, I got a good insight […]

Nature Microbiology: global collaboration of scientists uncovers human microbiome virus in one-third of all countries
We are all the same, yet we are all different. New research from bioinformatician Bas Dutilh at Utrecht University has shown how a family of tiny viruses lives the guts of humans around the world, yet changes depending on which country we are from. In a global collaboration with more than 100 scientists drawn from […]
PNAS publication UBC members: System that controls cell division resembles a mosaic
The protein complex that the cells of animals, plants, and fungi use to control cell division was created long ago from at least 40 different proteins. This could explain the overwhelming success of all cells with a cell nucleus, according to researchers at Utrecht University and the Hubrecht Institute. Their results were published in the […]
