In this episode we speak with computational researcher and Rosalin Franklin Fellow Inge Holtman. She initiated the Netherlands Neurogenomics Database in collaboration with Inge Huitinga from the Netherlands Brain Bank, a cohort that was founded in 1985 by Dick Swaab. In this cohort brain tissues from all over the Netherlands are collected, together with a lot of clinical data from the donors. This offers a wealth of data for researchers. The aim of the Netherlands Neurogenomics Database project is to analyse the cohort in its totality. To get an better understanding of how different neurological diseases develop Inge wants to find out which cells and molecules are affected by those diseases and relate that back to the symptoms.
