Curriculum Vitae
Joost Maarten Woltering was born on 13 May 1976 in Amersfoort where he attended secondary education at the Johan van Oldenbarneveld Gymnasium. He studied biology at the Rijks Universiteit Groningen (RUG) from 1994-2002 (received his MSc. in 2006). He did rotations in the lab of Prof. Wiebe Kruijer at the RUG where he worked on TGF-bèta signal transduction in cell culture and subsequently went to the lab of Sir Prof. John Gurdon at the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, UK, to study the Activin morphogen gradient in Xenopus laevis. In 2002 he joined the group of Prof. Antony Durston at the Hubrecht laboratory, KNAW, to study Hox genes. He moved with this group to Leiden University in 2005. The main work for his thesis has been on the analysis of the function of the miR-10 microRNA in Zebrafish embryogenesis. After the completion of his PhD he will continue to work on Hox genes and evolution in the lab of Prof. Denis Duboule at the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
