“What role do environmental factors play in the origin of diseases?”


Jelle Vlaanderen conducts epidemiological research into the role of environmental factors in disease etiology. He focuses on physical-chemical and occupational exposures (part of the ‘exposome’) in relation to (early stages of) cancer and cardiometabolic disease. Important tools for his research are so called OMICs markers that measure molecular changes in the human body and biostatistics.
