Researcher

Geert Martens

  • Research Expertise  (Vrije Universiteit Brussel):

    MD PhD with expertise in deep phenotyping using various OMICS  tools (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics) for cell biology and IVD applications. 

     

    MD with specific expertise in: (i) biochemical diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism using chromatographic techniques; (ii) molecular diagnostics: genomic analysis of solid and hematological tumors using DNA/RNA sequencing and qPCR and prenatal diagnosis using genome wide NIPT; (iii) clinical validation of bioinformatic pipelines.

     

    Researcher with specific expertise in (i) beta cell therapy in type 1 diabetes & deep phenotyping of pancreatic beta cells in vitro; (ii) cell biology of beta cell death & differentiation; (iii) metabolomic profiling of extreme metabolic phenotypes using high-resolution metabolimics on Waters VION IMS QTOF; (iv) biomarker identification and prototype assay development (high-sensitivity immunoassays for protein biomarkers and targeted PCR for DNA or microRNA markers); (v) integrated profiling of pathogenic variants in tumors.
