I’m Jolien Rietkerk
Nice to meet you! As a postdoctoral researcher I work on trans-ancestry psychiatric genetics of psychiatric disorders. I am part of the POP-GEM lab and hosted by the van Loo lab.
In my research I use representative population-scale datasets to study the genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders. I implement, develop and combine novel statistical genetics tools in my quest to understand the biology of cognition.
On this website I showcase my CV, post important updates on my research activities, list my publications and present my connections in a list of past and current affiliations.
I am thrilled you found my corner of the internet!
