معرفی
Sébastien Lemieux is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, Université de Montréal, and holds a joint appointment in the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on developing bioinformatics algorithms for analyzing high-throughput biological data, particularly in cancer genomics and precision medicine. He earned his PhD in Computer Science (2002), M.Sc. in Computer Science (1999), and B.Sc. in Microbiology (1998), all from Université de Montréal.
He leads the Functional and Structural Bioinformatics Research Unit at the Institut de recherche en immunologie et en cancérologie (IRIC), directing the bioinformatics platform. His work integrates transcriptomics, proteomics, and high-throughput screening to address challenges in cancer research. Notable projects include developing AI-driven tools for drug discovery and analyzing genomic data in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Dr. Lemieux has supervised over 20 graduate students and postdocs, focusing on computational methods for cancer biology. He has secured funding from major agencies like the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Genome Canada, and Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQS). Key collaborations include work on personalized immunotherapy and chemogenomic tools for AML treatment.
His research outputs span bioinformatics algorithm development, cancer biomarker discovery, and translational applications in clinical oncology. Current projects emphasize integrating multi-omics data to identify therapeutic targets and improve treatment outcomes for high-risk cancers.
