Jore Van Wauwe is a PhD researcher at the Cardiovascular Sciences Department, KU Leuven, Belgium. After earning his MS degree in Biosciences Engineering, he joined Dr Aernout Luttun’s team to focus on drug screening for cardiomyopathies using mouse and zebrafish models. For the latter, he went on a 6-month internship in Dr Calum MacRae’s lab (Harvard Medical School, Boston). Back in Leuven, he engaged in multiple projects within the host Department, through his acquired skills in 3D-echocardiography in mice. During his PhD tenure, he developed a particular interest in (epi)genomics and transcriptomics. After obtaining his PhD degree, Jore aspires a career in (academic) science driven by the belief that precision medicine is becoming a crucial aspect of improving human (cardiovascular) health.
