- Department: Bioinformatics and Biostatistics HUB
- Role: Researcher
His research focuses on the development and application of computational and imaging tools to study genome organization, particularly chromatin structure and dynamics. He specializes in super-resolution microscopy, 3D localization techniques, and the integration of experimental data with polymer modeling to understand chromatin looping and spatial genome architecture. His work also extends to open data platforms like ShareLoc for localization microscopy and the application of large language models in public health, such as analyzing free-text data on Covid-19 transmission.
His recent publications, appearing in journals like Nature Communications, Genome Biology, and Nucleic Acids Research, reflect a strong interdisciplinary approach combining biophysics, computational biology, and advanced imaging. These works span topics including chromatin loop extrusion, HIV-1 integrase binding, and data-sharing infrastructure.

Notable scientific contributions include the development of ZOLA-3D for flexible 3D imaging and ShareLoc for open sharing of microscopy data. His work on cohesin-dependent chromatin loops has provided key insights into single-cell genome organization. While no formal academic rank beyond 'Researcher' is specified, his sustained contributions to research and teaching indicate a significant academic role. He collaborates closely with researchers such as Camille Zimmer, Jean-Yves Tinevez, and Bertrand Néron. There is no indication of part-time status, retirement, or former staff status, suggesting he is an active, full-time member of the research faculty.
