Myrthe Jager
PostDoc
Myrthe is fascinated by the human genome and its role in health and disease. She did her PhD in the Cuppen lab at the Hubrecht Institute and the UMC Utrecht, where she used the organoid culture system to study mutation accumulation during life in human adult stem cells of liver and intestine. She joined the de Ridder Group in 2018 as a postdoctoral fellow and became a coordinator of the UMC AI lab for Molecular Medicine in 2023. In the de Ribber Group, she studies patterns in circulating tumor DNA and in microbial cell-free DNA using Nanopore and Illumina sequencing. In addition, she also uses novel spatial transcriptomics techniques for projects within the AI Lab. Myrthe enjoys supervising (PhD) students.
