Daan Vorselen

Daan studied Biology at Leiden University and Physics of Life at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, where he stayed for his PhD in biophysics. He then joined Julie Theriot’s lab at Stanford University and University of Washington for a post doc. After performing research at the molecular (VU) and population level (MIT), it was there that he found the cellular scale is most fascinating (at least to him). He joined Wageningen University as a tenure track assistant professor in August 2022. He’s fascinated by trying to understand the fundamental rules underlying cell behavior, a proponent of interdisciplinary, fundamental and open science, and enjoys essentially any outdoor activity in his spare time.
