Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenoit Ballester is a senior Inserm researcher (CRHC, HDR) in bioinformatics with nine years of focused experience leading regulatory genomics and large-scale multi-omics integration. He developed ReMap, a widely used transcription factor binding atlas, and uncovered dual-function exonic enhancers, revealing regulatory information embedded within coding sequences (Nature Communications). Benoit combines functional genomics, evolutionary insights and data engineering to map how regulatory signals are located and evolve across the genome, producing community resources and integrative analyses (Cell Genomics). Beyond research, he shapes national and European science through expert evaluation (Horizon Europe, MSCA), program leadership and workshop organization, and co-founded the regional BIOTIC bioinformatics network to strengthen local scientific infrastructure. An uncommon strength is his track record of turning large public datasets into enduring community tools that directly enable downstream discovery.
