Je suis bioinformaticien au Secteur des Sciences de la Santé, au sein duquel :
- Je gère le système de stockage de masse et cluster HPC sectoriel
- Je suis responsable IT à l'institut de Duve
- Je fourni du support bioinformatique aux chercheurs de l'université via la plateforme de génomique
I am a bioinformatician with a strong expertise in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and software development, and a deep interest in biology, genetics and evolution. With a master of computer sciences, I began working in the lab of Michel Milinkovitch at ULB, for which I developed a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System). As the lab focus was on evolutionary biology, I engaged in two projects that allowed me to dive into molecular biology. In the first, I implemented meta-heuristics within a comprehensive software for phylogeny inference. In the latter I built a phylogenetic framework for multi-species genome comparisons. I completed my PhD thesis on these two fields at the UNamur, where I worked with Pr. Éric Depiereux. Since 2010, I have worked in the lab of Pr. Miikka Vikkula at de Duve Institute (UCLouvain), where I manage bioinformatics for the Next Generation Sequencing platform and provide bioinformatics support for the de Duve Institute. Here, I developed my expertise in NGS data analysis and human genetics, culminating in the implementation of an easy-to-use but complete software for variant filtering that has allowed geneticists to discover numerous new mutations in rare human diseases.
