Position

I am a CNRS researcher (Chargé de Recherches, section 21), member of the Models and Algorithms for Genomics (MAGe) laboratory in the TIMC Institute in Grenoble, France.

Research Interests

Smart-pooling (AKA Combinatorial Group Testing) for high-thoughput biology (in particular, yeast-2-hybrid). Follow the link for information and source code related to the Shifted Transversal Design (STD), the interpool software package, and more!

Biomolecular interactions in the extracellular matrix: I am involved in the coordination and implementation of the MatrixDB database.

Protein-protein interactions (prediction, identification, networks).

Next Generation Sequencing data analysis. In particular I develop methods for identifying causal variants in exome-seq data of infertile patients.

And more generally: various -omics, gene networks...

Main past or present collaborations

Marc Vidal at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, USA.

Charlie Boone at the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, University of Toronto, Canada.

Sylvie Ricard-Blum, Institut de Chimie et de Biochimie Moléculaires et Supramoléculaires, Lyon, France.

Gary Bader at the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, University of Toronto, Canada.

Pierre Ray at the Grenoble Hospital and Institute for Advanced Biosciences, Grenoble, France.

André Verdel at the Institut Albert Bonniot, Grenoble, France.

You can also check out my github, where you can find most of the software I develop.

Journal Club, Lab Meeting, Seminars

I organized the Journal Club / Lab Meeting / Seminars for the BCM team from 2010 to 2018. I'm leaving that seminar webpage as-is for archival purposes, but starting 09/2018 Magali Richard was taking care of the BCM Seminar (thanks Magali!!), and she passed it on to Antoine Frenoy starting 02/2020. Check out the new BCM Seminars webpage for the schedule.

I also set up for a while a working group on NGS Bioinformatics in the Grenoble area (2015-2016, no webpage).

Teaching

"Applications de science des données et IA", 2A at the ENSIMAG.
There's a page on chamilo for the full UE (requires a Grenoble-INP account).
I maintain a dedicated webpage for my part of that course, so anyone can access it and possibly reuse parts of my project for their own courses (please drop me an email of you do).

Background

1994-1997: computer science engineer, with training from the ENSIMAG.

1997-2001: PhD in Computer Science, at the LSR laboratory in Grenoble and jointly in Marc Vidal's lab (at the time, at Mass. General Hospital, Boston; now at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston).
Title: Conceptual modeling and predictive analysis of protein-protein interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans.
If you're interested and don't mind reading in French, you can grab my PhD manuscript.

2001-: I obtained a CNRS permanent position (chargé de recherches) in november 2001.

Jan 2013: Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in Biology, Grenoble University.
Title: Smart-pooling and interactomes.
Manuscript (in french).
