Team
The people who are building geneSlice™ and run our projects day-to-day.
Arne Nedergaard Kousholt, PhD
CEO and co-founder of VUS Genetics. Expert in DNA repair deficient cancers, acquired PARPi drug resistance, and CRISPR gene editing.
Ruben Schep, PhD
Systems biologist with endless curiosity driven by technological advances. Background rooted at the intersection between CRISPR, chromatin and DNA repair.
Frank van Gemert, PhD
Frank has a keen interest in understanding cancer cell biology and is excited by scalable functional screening approaches that help drug developers translate biology into clinical impact.
Alba Muniesa-Vargas, PhD
Alba holds a PhD in DNA damage and repair. She is enthusiastic about understanding the impact of gene variants for treatment responses and improving patient outcomes.
Amrita Chakrabarti, PhD
Building on her PhD research in host–parasite interactions and Malaria disease biology, Amrita now applies CRISPR and functional genomics at VUS Genetics to understand how disease-associated gene variants influence cellular function and precision medicine outcomes.
Jørgen Bøndergaard Iversen, PhD
Computer scientist with a PhD and 20 years of industry experience specializing in software system integration. Passionate about connecting complex technologies to create scalable, reliable, and efficient solutions.
Nahuel Jimenez Pol
Nahuel is a bioinformatician focused on pipeline development and sequencing data analysis. Early in his career and highly driven, he brings strong skills in Python, R, and AI, and a clear ambition to grow within the fast-paced world of biotech startups.
Alberto Pavan
Alberto is fascinated by complex diseases and the hidden mechanisms behind them. With a Master's degree in bioinformatics and experience ranging from molecular dynamics to bacterial RNA interactomes, he now supports the research and the development of pipelines that helps uncover how gene variants shape disease.
Warvin Zana Merani
A Bio-Research student with interest in functional genomics and how genetic variation influences drug response.
