My motivation is to build bioinformatics resources allowing to understand gene expression, and gene expression evolution in the context of animal anatomy evolution.Since 2011, I have worked on the development of the gene expression database Bgee (https://bgee.org/), developed at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Lausanne. We try to integrate all possible sources of expression data in a consistent framework, in order to build a detailed and faithful representation of gene expression patterns in many animal species. The development of such a database requires work at the intersection of data curation, ontology development, software development, data quality control, and data reproducibility.I am a supporter of open science principles, supporting notably copyright-free software and data sharing, disclosure and versioning of data analysis pipelines, open peer-reviews in journals, and pre-publication platforms.
Listed skills include Bioinformatics, Comparative Genomics, Molecular Biology, Evolutionary Biology, and 11 others.
