🙋🏻♂️ Hello, I am Koen Rademaker, a recent MSc Bioinformatics graduate from VU Amsterdam and currently working as a bioinformatician focusing on spatial transcriptomics in neurodevelopmental disorders at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Omer Bayraktar's group. Previously, I conducted a MSc thesis project in Oliver Stegle's group (German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg) in collaboration with Omer Bayraktar's group at Sanger.
🧠 My interests lie in computational biology, genetics and cell biology.
👨🏻💻 I mostly work in Python and R, along with Bash / command-line scripting in HPC environments. I have also been trained in Java and SQL during my BSc, but that has been a while already. Learning Julia is still on my to-do list, but more urgent matters (i.e. fixing package versions in Conda) keep getting in the way.
🌱 I am currently diving deeper into machine learning algorithms as I see many opportunities for research questions in bioinformatics. Learning more about Bayesian statistics and Pythonic implementations is also something I am actively pursuing.
