Thomas COKELAER
I joined the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Hub at Institut Pasteur in 2016 where I am currently developing pipelines related to NGS for the Biomics Pôle. I have an interdisciplinary research experience: after a PhD in Astronomy (gravitational wave data analysis), I joined several research institute to work in the fields of plant modelling (INRIA, Montpellier, 2008-2011), System Biology — in particular logical modelling (EMBL-EBI Cambridge, U.K., 2011-2015), and drug discovery (Sanger Institute, Cambridge, U.K.), 2015). On a daily basis, I use data analysis and machine learning techniques within high-quality software to tackle scientific problems.

Amine GHOZLANE
After a PhD in informatics on graph analysis (metabolic networks and sRNA-mRNA interaction graphs) at the LaBRI (Université de Bordeaux), I joined the DSIMB team (INTS) for a post-doc on structural modeling. Then, I performed a second post-doc at Metagenopolis – INRA Jouy-en-Josas, where I was initiated to the analysis of metagenomic data. I was recruited at the HUB in 2015, and since I pursue the development of methods dedicated to the treatment of metagenomic data by combining either the treatment of sequencing data, the statistics, the protein structural modeling and the graph analysis.

Pierre LECHAT
I have been involved in genomic projects for prokaryotic and human genetic studies (GWAS) since 1998. Currently, I am working on novel visualization techniques to explore large and highly complex data sets. I have develop a web based graphical user interface, called SynTView (http://genopole.pasteur.fr/SynTView/) to visualize biological features in comparative genomic studies. The tool allows interactive visualization of microbial genomes to investigate massive amounts of information efficiently. The software is characterized by the presentation of synthetic organisations of microbial genomes and the visualization of polymorphism data. I am extending this work into designing novel dynamic views for comparative analysis of viruses in emerging disease.

After a PhD in bioinformatics at Inria/IRISA, Université de Rennes 1, Rennes (France), under the supervision of Dominique Lavenier and Pierre Peterlongo, I did a postdoc in bioinformatics at Laboratory of Ecology and Evolution of Plankton in Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn of Naples, Italy. Both my thesis and my postdoc were about the Tara Oceans projet and the development of new software to analyze huge quantities of raw reads coming from metagenomics sample. I am currently occupying a research engineer position at the Hub as leader of ALPS group and focus on several different computing problems including metagenomics, protein assembly and several short term developments.

Christophe MALABAT
After a PhD in biochemistry of the rapeseed proteins, during which I developed my first automated scripts for handling data processing and analysis, I join Danone research facility center for developing multivariate models for the prediction of milk protein composition using infrared spectrometry.
As I was already developing my own informatics tools, I decided to join the course of informatic for biology of the Institut Pasteur in 2007. At the end of the course I was recruited by the Institute and integrate the unit of “génétique des interactions macromoléculaires” of Alain Jacquier.
Within this group, I learn to handle sequencing data and I developed processing and analysis tools using python and R.
I also create a genome browser and database system for storing, retrieving and visualizing microarray data.
After 8 years within the Alain Jacquier’s lab, I join the Hub of bioinformatics and biostatistics as co-head of the team.

Damien MORNICO
Graduated in “Structural Genomics and Bioinformatics”, I mainly worked during almost 6 years at the Genoscope (CEA) in the LABGeM team, within the microbial annotation platform MicroScope. I specifically focused on functional annotation and microbial metabolic pathways prediction and reconstruction, through pipeline implementation, database modeling and web interface development. Broadly, interactions in the MicroScope platform allowed me to tackle the whole annotation process: from genome assembly and gene prediction to network reconstruction. I also performed several comparative genomics analyses. As a member of the “Hub team”, I now take part to various projects, linked to HTS data, on different subjects (lncRNAs and stem cells, HIV integration and DNA structure, Ribosomal protein genes and genome evolution, Natural Antisense Transcripts in compact genomes…).

Natalia PIETROSEMOLI
Dr. Natalia Pietrosemoli is an Engineer with a M. Sc. in Modeling and Simulation of Complex Realities from the International Center for Theoretical Physics, ICTP and the International School of Advanced Studies, SISSA (Triest, Italy). During her M. Sc. internships she mostly worked in modeling, optimization, combinatorics and information theory applied to medical imaging. In 2012 she got a Ph. D in Computational Biology from the School of Bioengineering of Rice University (Houston, TX, US), where she specialized in computational structural biology and functional genomics. Her doctoral thesis “Protein functional features extracted with from primary sequences : a focus on disordered regions”, contributed to a better understanding of the functional and evolutionary role of intrinsic disorder in protein plasticity, complexity and adaptation to stress conditions. As part of her Ph. D., Natalia was a visiting scholar in two labs in Madrid: the Structural Computational Biology Group at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), where she mainly worked in sequence analysis and the functional-structural relationships of proteins, and the Computational Systems Biology Group at the Spanish National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC ), where she studied the functional implications of intrinsically disordered proteins at the genomic level for several organisms, collaborating with different experimental and theoretical groups. In 2013, she joined the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics as a postdoctoral fellow in the Bioinformactics Core Facility. Her main project consisted in the molecular classification of a rare type of lymphoma, which involved the integration of transcriptomic, clinical and mutational data for the identification of molecular markers for classification, diagnosis and prognosis. This work was performed in collaboration with the Pathology Institute at the University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV). In November of 2015 Natalia joined the Hub Team @ Pasteur C3BI as a Senior Bioinformatician. Natalia is especially interested in the integrative analysis of different omics data, both at large-scale and for small datasets, and loves collaborating in interdisciplinary environments and having feedback from her fellow experimental colleagues. Currently, she’s coordinating several projects performing functional and pathway analysis at the genomic level. By grouping genes, proteins and other biological molecules into the pathways they are involved in, the complexity of the analyses is significantly reduced, while the explanatory power increases with respect to having a list of differentially expressed genes or proteins.

Rachel TORCHET
In 2012 I completed my master degree at the MicroScope Platform located at Genoscope (the French National Sequencing Center). I was involved in a project aiming at the management of evolution projects which rely on the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies to try to decipher the dynamics of genomic changes as well as the molecular bases and the mechanisms underlying adaptative evolution of micro-organisms (Remigi et al. 2014). Since November 2014, I joined the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics HUB at Institut Pasteur. I participated to the creation and updates of the C3BI website. I joined the WINTER group where I’m in charge of web and interface development projects. I have completed an UX-Design training to add extra value to my front-end development skills. I design and develop bioinformatics tools and interfaces that are users oriented.
