On a sunny summer day on the
Pointes de Mourti
(Swiss Alps)
I am finishing a PhD in bioinformatics at the Biozentrum, Universität Basel in Switzerland, where I study how microRNAs regulate gene expression, using statistical analysis of high-throughput experimental datasets and quantitative modeling. When I am not doing bioinformatics, I am usually exploring the Alps, jamming with my rock band, or experimenting electronic music.
I grew up in the Strasbourg area, in eastern France. I moved to Karlsruhe, Germany in 2001 for my undergrads, then went on to study in Lyon, France. While doing so, I spent a year watching (brain) waves in San Diego, California, and throwing balls in (discrete) bins in München, Germany during the 2006 Soccer World Cup, before moving to Basel, Switzerland where I have been living happily since then.
