Biography

Dr. L. A. Lennart Kester has been a clinical molecular biologist in pathology (KMBP) in the diagnostic laboratory at the Princess Máxima Center since February 2020, where he focuses on the analysis of RNA sequencing and whole-exome sequencing as part of routine diagnostic care. Besides this, he is responsible for the development and implementation of novel techniques in routine diagnostics. His current focus is on the development of an RNA expression-based pediatric cancer classifier that can differentiate between 162 different pediatric cancer types. Upon completion of his training as a clinical molecular biologist in pathology, Lennart has started his own research group within the Princess Máxima Center focusing on the development of novel diagnostic assays in pediatric oncology and is now co-supervising two PhD students. Before 2020 he did a PhD in the laboratory of Prof. Dr A. van Oudenaarden at the Hubrecht institute, where he developed single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell whole-genome sequencing techniques (graduated cum laude). After this he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, developing novel machine learning approaches to select the most optimal chemotherapy regimen based on bulk RNA sequencing data from breast cancer.
