Curriculum Vitae
Jenke Gorter was born on the 27th of February 1990 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. She started her bachelor Biology in 2008 at the University of Groningen and obtained her degree in 2011 with a specialization in Behavior and Neurobiology. During this bachelor program her interest for science and behavior first appeared during the research courses. In 2011 she immediately continued with a research master in Behavioral and Cognitive Neurosciences to pursue these interests. With this master program, she explored the field of circadian biology in two model systems, namely the mouse (Mus musculus) and the fruitfly (Drosophila
melanogaster). The first project with Mus musculus took place at the University of Groningen
and addressed the energetic costs of day- and night-activity. The second project took place at the university of Wuerzburg and described a possible mechanism of residual rhythmicity in a well-known genetic circadian mutant. With these projects, she obtained her master degree with honours (cum laude) in 2013. Early 2014 she started the PhD described in this thesis with a NWO-BCN scholarship based on her own research proposal at the University of Groningen. During this time she has presented her work at several national and international conferences. Additionally, part of her time was devoted to assisting bachelor and master courses as well as supervising students during research projects. She would like to continue her career by learning new techniques in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster or by becoming part of the support network for research and education.
