Course and current status

2017-2019: DOCTORATE IN MOLECULAR GENETICS                                  

Inserm U1245, Genomics and Personalized Medecine in Cancer, Caen, FRANCE

Main: improve the molecular diagnosis of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers (HBOCs) by the transcripts study of the predisposition genes.

  • Mapping of alternative splicing from genes involved in the predisposition of HBOCs by targeted RNA next generation sequencing (targeted RNAseq)
    • Paradigm of PALB2 gene: usefulness of this mapping to interpret variant at RNA level
    • Setting up the analysis of transcripts by targeted RNAseq long-read
    • In silico combinatory analysis of data from RNAseq long-read and short read
  • Bioinformatics tools development to predict and study the splicing alteration from unknown significance variants.
    • SpliceLauncher: novel bioinformatics tool to study the alternative splicing from RNAseq data.
    • SPiCE, Splicing Prediction in Consensus Element: prediction tool dedicated to the consensus splice sites outperforming the state-of-art in these regions.
    • SPiP, Splicing Prediction Pipeline: decisional tree dealing the splicing complexity, with a new tool for the cryptic splice site detection, validated on more than 2 500 variants.

2017-2018: MENTORING OF MASTER 1 TRAINEES                                     

Laboratoire de biologie et génétique du cancer, CLCC F. Baclesse, Caen, FRANCE

  • Amaury Humbert, 4 months
    • Setting up RT-PCR long-range for exon 11 of BRCA1

Scientific summary

In the area of “omics” approach, the expertise of next generation sequencing technology is a major challenge. Pharmacist graduate and thanks to my thesis works, I expanded my skills in the molecular biology, bioinformatics and biostatistics domain to operate on the data provided by these novel technologies. In reaching this mastery, I proved to be volunteer and motivate to achieve my goals. Then, I wish to value these achievements by continuing in the biomedical research in the frame of post-doctoral contract.
