Jelle J. Goeman is professor of biostatistics at the department of Biomedical Data Sciences at Leiden University Medical Center. His specialization is the analysis of high-dimensional medical data. For his research he was awarded a VENI and a VIDI grant.

Biostatistics
In medical research more and more data are gathered using advanced technologies. For example in genetics the activity of tens of thousands of genes can be measured simultaneously; in brain research the acivity of tens of thousands of brain segments is measured. Finding patterns in such data is like finding a needle in a haystack. To help research in these areas there is a need for new and advanced statistical methods. Jelle Goeman develops such methods. He works on methods for multiple hypothesis testing and on high-dimensional prediction models.
