Tjitse Van der Molen

Biography

Tjitse completed a BSc degree in molecular life sciences (cum laude) and a MSc degree in bioinformatics and systems biology (cum laude) at the Wageningen University. He worked in various molecular biology and neuroscience labs before starting an internship with Dr. Kenneth Kosik at UCSB. His internship was aimed at studying intrinsic neural activity in human stem cell derived brain organoids which he extended into a graduate program. Tjitse is very excited to be able to work on a project that combines his various academic interests and is always eager to collaborate with others.
