Wouter OUWERKERK, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Wouter Ouwerkerk is an enthusiastic researcher trained in biostatistics, bioinformatics and genetic epidemiology, actively conducting research in the fields of cardiology, dermatology and cancer-immunology.
Wouter is bridging these fields by effectively combining expertise from both fields to achieve high-impact multidisciplinary research. His research is focussed on personalised treatment and systems medicine, using multi-omics high-dimensional data.
After successfully completing his PhD he started his post-doctoral research at the dept. dermatology. Here, he build a world-wide consortium to study genetic susceptibility of response to immunotherapy in melanoma patients.
At the same time at the National Heart Centre Singapore he continued to pursue his interests in personalised treatment and systems medicine in cardiovascular disease, using high-dimensional data and large observational cohorts.
