Hi, I am Joost and a Reader in Gene Regulation and Expression in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee and Programme Lead for the MSc Biomedical and Molecular Sciences.
Expertise
[edit]My expertise is in gene expression, and higher education in relation to Molecular Biology. I have been a researcher/Principal Investigator in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee for many years, with a particular interest in the process of ribosomal RNA synthesis and ribosome biogenesis, integral to cell growth and cell proliferation.
Education
[edit]I got my University degree in the Netherlands, where I also gained my PhD in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Amsterdam. I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California in Berkeley. I have been at the University of Dundee since 1996.
