Dr. Wim Trypsteen
Researcher and founding partner of the Ghent University dPCR consortium, Ghent University
Wim is a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University with a decade of experience in digital PCR technology ranging from assay development to generating new data analysis algorithms.
He has a special interest in the use of nucleic acid quantification to aid clinical and therapeutic decision-making and his main area of work has been in the field of infectious diseases/pathogen detection (HIV).
He is the co-founder of the UGent Digital PCR consortium which has the goal to introduce dPCR to a broader audience, develop and share expertise on several of the commercial dPCR platforms and offer benchmark opportunities to evaluate cross-platform performance.
