Jop Kind received his PhD from the Radboud University Nijmegen in 2008 for his work on chromatin and gene expression performed at the EMBL Heidelberg. He subsequently joined the Netherlands Cancer Institute for his postdoctoral training, where he developed novel methods to study nuclear organization in individual cells. For this work he received the prestigious Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (NKI) and John Kendrew awards (EMBL). In October 2014, he established his research group at the Hubrecht Institute and became a senior group leader in 2019 and a professor of single cell epigenomics at the Radboud University in 2021. His research is supported by an ERC Starting (2016) and Consolidator grant (2021) a NWO Vidi (2016) and his group is a member of two recent consortia grants NWO-PSIDER (2021) and NWO-XL (2022).
