Pascal CAMPAGNE

Initially trained in evolutionary and environmental sciences, I studied population genetics and micro-evolutionary processes in a number of postdoctoral research projects. I recently joined the C3BI-Hub at the Institut Pasteur, where I work on various aspects involving Biostatistics and the analysis of genetic data.

Claudia CHICA

As a computational biologist I have been involved in various projects seeking to answer different biological questions. Those projects have allowed me to define my main research interest, namely the evolutionary study of the emergence, storage and modulation of information in biological systems assisted by computational methods. During my research career I have acquired extensive experience in the analysis of sequence data at the DNA and protein level. I’m trained both in NGS bioinformatic protocols (ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, genome assembly) and fine detail sequence analysis. Most importantly, I have gained proficiency in the use of the statistical models that are at the basis of the quantitative analysis of low and high throughput sequence data. Additionally, my experience as a lecturer and instructor has taught me that training researchers about the formal basis of bioinformatic methodologies is the key for a successful collaboration between wet and dry lab. Likewise, I have gained valuable skills by working within two international consortia (TARA Oceans project and TRANSNET): the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary groups and to coordinate younger researchers.

Julien GUGLIELMINI

After a PhD in Microbiology on bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems at the Free University of Brussels, I joined the Institut Pasteur for a 3 years postdoc in Eduardo Rocha’s lab. During this period, I performed comparative genomics and pylogenetic analysis on bacterial conjugation and type IV secretion systems. Then, I worked 2 years in Olivier Tenaillon’s team on the modelling and evolution of organismal complexity. I joined the HUB in 2015, and I am involved in phylogenetic and comparative genomics projects.

Etienne KORNOBIS

After a PhD in Biology in 2011 on population genetics and phylogeography on amazing little amphipods (Crangonyx, Crymostygius) at the University of Reykjavik (Iceland), I pursued my interest in Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Biology in various post-docs in Spain (MNCN Madrid, UB Barcelona). During this time, I investigated transcriptomic landscapes for various non-model species (groups Conus, Junco and Caecilians) using de novo assemblies and participated in the development of TRUFA, a web platform for de novo RNA-seq analysis. In July 2016, I integrated the Revive Consortium and the Epigenetic Regulation unit at Pasteur Institute, where my main focus were transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses on various thematics using short and long reads technologies, with a special interest in alternative splicing events detection. I joined the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Hub in January 2018. My latest interests are long reads technologies, alternative splicing and achieving reproducibility in Bioinformatics using workflow managers, container technologies and literate programming.
