Dr. Iwijn De Vlaminck joined the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University in 2015. His research at Cornell focuses on the development of precision medicine technologies for the monitoring of infectious diseases and immune related complications. De Vlaminck received postdoctoral training in the labs of Stephen Quake at Stanford University and Cees Dekker at the TUDelft. He obtained a PhD in Science and Engineering from the KULeuven in Belgium. He was awarded the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award and the Robert ’55 and Vanne ’57 Cowie Excellence in Teaching Award in 2017 and the Robert Noyce Assistant Professorship in 2015.
Prof. De Vlaminck’s research focuses on the development of molecular analysis technologies for microbiology and immunology and the application of these technologies in the monitoring of infectious diseases and immune-related complications. His research is highly interdisciplinary in nature, and requires innovation in genomics, computational biology and molecular engineering.
