Radboudumc

The Department of Human Genetics is one of the largest and most innovative human genetics departments in Europe. We currently employ more than 400 people, who work in three divisions, Genome Research, Genome Diagnostics, and Clinical Genetics. The Genome Diagnostics division is one of the largest laboratories with >150 employees who work under the umbrella of different theme groups.

You will be embedded in a young team of bioinformaticians and programmers responsible for the development of novel technologies for patient diagnostics and translational research. In this role you will be working in close collaboration with the Translational Metabolic Laboratory (TML) to improve the diagnosis of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEMs). Within TML, we are innovating our diagnostic processes by implementing holistic approaches like metabolomics, proteomics and glycomics, including the development of new computational approaches to process and interpret untargeted high resolution mass spectrometry data. Challenges lie in the translation of big data to a clinically valuable results for individual patients. Together, we are one of the leading diagnostic laboratories in Europe due to the high degree of innovation and rapid uptake of novel technologies.
