About
Hi there, I'm Matthijs Kersten.
I’m an enthusiastic and driven researcher with a positive mindset and a passion for working with people. Strong communication and collaboration skills allow me to build effective relationships across teams and departments.
With solid experience in project management and hands-on expertise in various biomolecular techniques, I’m known for connecting the dots, streamlining processes, and keeping projects on track through clear communication and coordination.
What I do
I Bridge Science and People
I lead and coordinate research across academia and industry, turning complex biological challenges into clear, practical actions. I bring structure and alignment to every project through clear communication and collaboration.
I Coach and Connect
Through mentoring students and leading research teams, I’ve built strong coaching skills. I value collaboration and growth — in both people and projects.
I Build and Run Experiments
From molecular cloning to plant transformation, I apply technical depth and precision in the lab. I enjoy optimizing protocols and turning ideas into solid, data-driven results.
I Think in Systems
Project management is in my DNA. From proposals to risk analysis, I keep research on track with smart planning and efficient execution.
