Short presentation
Assistant professor at University Rennes 1 since 2009 and Dyliss member since 2019. I am co-head of the Bioinformatics master, with my colleague Olivier Dameron. My research interests are focused on bioinformatics : integrating homogeneous and heterogeneous data (-omics data, clinical data…), and extracting graphs from knowledge for systems biology.
Keywords : -omic data integration ; multimodal data integration ; protein-protein interactions ; biological graphs ; applications for fundamental biology, environment and health.

- Gwenaël Rabut at Institut de Génétique du Développement de Rennes : master thesis of Camille Juigne, Erasmus traineeship of Nancy D’Arminio
- Olivier Colliot, Dr. Isabelle Le Ber, Dr. Dario Saracino at Paris Brain Institute (ICM) & Aramis project team (INRIA), for the PhD of Virgilio Kmetzsch inside the IPL Neuromarker project
