Scientific summary
I am currently serving as a Computational Genomics Scientist at INSERM in the GenMedStroke team headed by Professor Elisabeth Tournier-Lasserve. My research focuses on the identification of novel genes and pathways involved in cerebrovascular diseases, mainly in cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVDs) and moyamoya angiopathies. I am combining various pan-genomic approaches with statistical methods on big-data issued from high throughput sequencing. My areas of expertise include medical genetics, rare diseases, burden tests, exome and genome sequencing, RNA-seq, and bioinformatics.
