Scientific summary

I started my carrer as a pure mathematician, with a specialisation in constructive algebra (math PhD, 2001). I turned to genetic epidemiology in 2006, and I became an associate professor in 2008.

I’m mostly interested in developing methods and sofware for genetic epidemiology, with a focus on heritability, mixed models, population structure and rare variants association tests.

My main collaborations are with Philippe Broët, Anthony Herzig, Anne-Louise Leutenegger, Emmanuelle Génin. I supervised / am supervising the PhD theses of Claire Dandine-Roulland, Jacqueline Milet, Ozvan Bocher.

I am the main developer of the R package Gaston for manipulation of genome-wide data.
