Jurjen Broeke has a PhD in neuroscience at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam and has been using live cell imaging techniques to study the fundamental processes of neuronal function. As a neuroscientist, he studies the processes involved in neural communication. Besides acquiring images, he also develops software for analyzing dynamics in ImageJ, Matlab, and R. When not enjoying the great outdoors and taking pictures, he develops technical hard- and software solutions in the department of Functional Genomics at the VU.
