Summary
Athénaïs Vaginay is an associate professor and computational biologist based in Caen, Normandy, with a PhD in bioinformatics and roughly a decade of research and teaching experience across French universities and CNRS. She combines academic leadership as Maîtresse de Conférences with hands-on computational work—programming mainly in Python and ASP—to tackle problems like gene regulatory network inference and in silico drug partner screening. Her background spans internships and research roles in genomics, malaria image analysis, and multi-phenotype biomarker methods, reflecting strong interdisciplinary fluency between wet-lab questions and scalable computational solutions. Early-career roles at CNRS and multiple postdoctoral appointments underline a trajectory from applied bioinformatics engineering to independent teaching and research. Colleagues can expect a practitioner who bridges pedagogy, open scientific software, and domain-focused algorithm development.
