Personal information

My name is Jip de Kok, I have graduated from Maastricht University, the faculty of Science and Engineering resulting in a degree of Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences from the Maastricht Science Programme. During my academic career I have studied scientific programming, where I have mainly applied my programming knowledge in a biological context. Some examples are automated data extrapolation, processing and visualisation using HTML and JavaScript with the Openphacts API. In this application, biological data about a specific disease and a predefined disease-specific drug is extrapolated from various databases. These targets are then compared to identify overlapping targets between a disease and its drug. Finally, these targets are then visualised as a force-directed graph using the D3.js library. All in all, my main focus has been on software development and molecular biology.
