My work as a programmer in Liisa's group has started in April 98; the group's main interest is research in organisation of protein space. My skills are database development, administration and what could be called automated curation (this last thing means mainly: "be careful of the format you read!"). The main database I work on is containing Blast alignments on a representative subset of all known proteins; which simply means that it contains the neighbourhood of any given protein of that subset. A further work will be to group these neighbourhoods in order to obtain protein families.

Apart from that, I have started my work at the EBI after having done my military service in Chamonix. I really enjoyed being in the mountains. As you can notice on my picture, I am not yet readapted to flat areas!
But I will probably manage to do that since I received my Biomedical Engineer diploma from the University of Compiègne which is a small town located at 80 km from Paris; another capital, another flat area... no change!
Before the army, I did my 6 month project of end-of-studies at the Sleep Laboratory of the Civil Hospital of Strasbourg. There I produced, in collaboration with Dr. Emilianna Sfozae and Pfr. Jean Krieger a C++ program which has been extended after my departure and led to a medical research protocol. Because I have a lot of other interests, I have stopped maintaining it but it must still be in use now.
