Vid Prijatelj
Vid Prijatelj finished his training as a pharmacist (MPharm) at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. During his studies, he had always been interested in the quantitative approach to problem solving, which ultimately led him to pick up programming. This all culminated in his Master’s thesis, where he used in silico tools to guide his in vitro wet-lab experiments.

“Vid proclaims himself a thrasher. Although he recognizes Anthrax as one of the big 4, he is a staunch supporter that Exodus should take their place instead”
In 2018, he started his PhD under prof. Fernando Rivadeneira and prof. Eppo Wolvius. His thesis is titled “Jolly Roger: The (Genetic) Interplay of Skulls, Teeth and Bones”, wherein he incorporates multi-omic and cohort-based data to uncover and try to understand the associations between the phenotypes of the aforementioned anatomical sites. His work encapsulates working on the RNA-Seq data, from designing the sequence pipelines to analyzing the data itself, leveraging genotype data to run GWAS as well as Mendelian randomization methods.
He is a staunch supporter of resistance training, even though he used to be a competitive swimmer – Something he would still enjoy doing given the opportunity.
