Mike Loomans

Profile

Enthusiastic biotech major with wet lab experience in diagnostic and research settings. I am also familiar with bioinformatics and am highly motivated for any new challenges coming my way.

Experience

PhD, Wageningen University and Research, Wageningen, Gelderland, Netherlands

August 2023 - present

I am currently working on a range of computational methods to analyze and characterize the taxonomic composition, functional potential, and antimicrobial resistome load of pig intestinal microbiome. As part of this research, I am harmonizing the data to create FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) microbiome profiles. These profiles will be integrated into an annotated pig intestinal microbiome catalogue, which will be valuable for PIG-PARADIGM and other researchers in the scientific community.
