Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmine Remita is a computational biologist and postdoctoral fellow with nine years of experience at the intersection of bioinformatics and computer science, currently based at the Azrieli Research Centre of CHU Sainte-Justine. Trained originally as a pharmacist, he pivoted to bioinformatics and now holds a graduate diploma, MSc and is completing a PhD in computer science at UQAM, where he also teaches and mentors students. He has led practical projects such as the Wheat MicroRNA Portal and CASTOR, a machine-learning platform for nucleotide sequence classification, and has collaborated with labs at McGill and the University of Saskatchewan. Comfortable with both research and production-facing tooling, he combines domain knowledge in biology with strengths in data visualization and ML-driven sequence analysis. Known for embracing unfamiliar challenges, he brings a hands-on approach to building reproducible computational tools and translating biological questions into scalable software.
