Biography
Rob W.J. Collin is an Associate Professor at the Department of Human Genetics, at the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and is affiliated to the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. During his post-doc, he was involved in the identification of several novel genes underlying inherited hearing impairment, and inherited retinal diseases. Since 2010, he switched his research focus towards the development of Molecular Therapies for Inherited Eye Disorders, in particular those that involve the modulation of pre-mRNA splicing. In 2010, he worked in the lab of Prof. Dr. Jean Bennett, a pioneer in the development of retinal gene therapy. Rob Collin was awarded with a prestigious VENI Award from the Dutch Organization of Scientific Research (2010), an Individual Investigator Award from the Foundation Fighting Blindness (2012), and recently received the IJMS Young Investigator Award (2017).
