Computational biologist based in Montréal, QC. My work sits at the intersection of genomics, statistical modeling, and large-scale biological data analysis and I'm actively transitioning toward human health, cancer genomics, and clinical bioinformatics research.
My doctoral research involved building and analyzing one of the most comprehensive long-term microbial ecology datasets in a temperate ecosystem: 9 years of weekly sampling across multiple depths, integrating 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing with environmental covariates.
