At the Leiden UMC Campus The Hague (LCDH) Marco is establishing the research line Translational Data Science in Population Health. This line has three themes. In Data Engineering for Population Health, we investigate the further consolidation, standardisation and enrichment of the ELAN information infrastructure, in line with Health-RI. In Data Analytics for Population Health, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning techniques are investigated for their suitability to answer current and new types of LCDH research questions from a Self-Service Data Science perspective, in collaboration with the LIACS department. In eHealth Implementations for Population Health, we design and implement data science interventions through eHealth, mHealth and NLP software solutions within the LCDH region, in close collaboration with the LCDH partners and the National eHealth Living Lab (NeLL).

Before, I was an Associate Professor and, before that, Assistant Professor in the Natural Language Processing and Organisation & Information research groups, respectively, of the Department of Information and Computing Sciences within the Faculty of Science at Utrecht University for 13 years. Until 2007 I worked in industry for fourteen years as an Information Retrieval and Big Data engineer at ZyLAB Europe and the Intelligence Service, among others.
