Biography

Kees Jalink is a biophysicist who is interested in designing and developing technologies for tackling diverse biological questions. He has brought many new technologies to the NKI and is an advisor to three companies on the creation of new devices. He often builds prototypes in the lab from individual pieces using sticky tape and then invites industry in to make them user-friendly. His group spends half of its time establishing new techniques and serving as the NKI biophysical center of expertise for those techniques, collaborating and publishing jointly with others. With the other half, they focus on their own research on cellular adhesion mechanisms involved in cancer
