Kees Jalink

I am a biophysicist who is interested in designing and developing technologies for tackling diverse biological questions. I brought many new technologies to the NKI and am an advisor to three companies on the creation of new devices. I often build prototypes in the lab from individual pieces using sticky tape and then invites industry in to make them user-friendly. My group spends half of their time establishing new techniques and serving as the NKI biophysical center of expertise for those techniques, collaborating and publishing jointly with others. With the other half, they focus on their own research into novel formats for pooled microscopy screening and signal transuction.
