Prof. dr. Antoine van Kampen

Professor Medical Bionformatics at the Academic Medical (AMC) Center, Amsterdam. My research focuses on bioinformatics and systems medicine.

Antoine van Kampen has a background in chemometrics. He did his PhD research at the Radboud University Nijmegen (The applicability of genetic algorithms to complex optimization problems in chemistry). Subsequently, he moved to the Academic Medical Center (AMC) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) in 1997 where he got involved in bioinformatics. Currently, he heads the Bioinformatics Laboratory and is responsible for the AMC bioinformatics core facility that provides support to AMC research groups with respect to the data analysis of next generation sequencing (WGS/WES), DNA microarrays, metabolomics, SNP, and epigenetics data. He holds the chair Medical Bioinformatics at the Faculty of Medicine of the AMC. He collaborates with the Biosystems Data Analysis group (UvA) where he is hosted for one day per week. Van Kampen was scientific director of the Netherlands Bioinformatics Center (NBIC) from 2006 – 2010. His primary research comprises Systems Genomics and Systems Medicine. Recently, he developed a special interest in the analysis (e.g. repertoire sequencing) and mathematical modelling of immune responses. He is involved in the Marie Curie project EpiPredict that focuses on endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer. Finally, he is involved in a many bioinformatics and systems biology teaching activities including the medical informatics program (AMC), AMC Graduate School, biomedical sciences (SILS), computational sciences (Institute for Informatics, UvA), and Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (VU University Amsterdam).
