Corneel Vermeulen, MSc, PhD
"I am an experienced researcher with a broad interest in everything related to genetics, genomics and computational biology. My aim is to continue adding competences, as I am always eager to learn new skills."
Position
MSc, PhD
Expertise
Genetics and Genomics, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, High-throughput sequencing
Biography
In 1999 Corneel Vermeulen obtained his MSc in biology at Utrecht University with specializations molecular genetics and population genetics. In 2004 he received his PhD at Groningen University for his thesis on the evolutionary genetics of senescent ageing. Thereafter, he moved to Aarhus (Denmark) to perform postdoctoral research on the genomics of inbreeding depression. He continued this line of research when he returned in 2009 to Groningen where he also taught university courses.
In 2014 he reinvented himself as a human geneticist when he started working at the department of pulmonary diseases of University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). His research concerned the genetics and epigenetics of asthma and COPD using RNA sequencing and DNA methylation array methodology.
In June 2020 he was employed at GD to develop high-throughput sequencing workflows for the diagnosis of veterinary infectious diseases.
