Harm Nijveen

Dr. Harm Nijveen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioinformatics at Wageningen University & Research. His work focuses on computational biology, plant genetics, and transcriptomics, with a particular emphasis on seed biology and epigenetic mechanisms.

• Active in projects involving spatial seed transcriptomics, genome stress responses in crops, and regeneration biology
• Co-promotor for PhD candidates in genomics, bioinformatics, and plant development

Research interests span DNA methylation dynamics, PEBP gene functions, and stress adaptation in plants. His datasets include genome assemblies, multi-parent recombinant inbred line populations, and seed dormancy transcriptomics.

Current projects explore developmental stage regulation, single-cell transcriptomics, and integrative approaches linking genomics to phenomics. Collaborations involve institutions like University of Washington and Netherlands-Pakistan partnerships.
