Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrice Letcher is an early-career researcher and bioinformatics developer at CNRS in Lyon with nine years' experience bridging molecular biology, evolutionary genomics, and software engineering. His postdoctoral work focuses on the evolution of sex chromosomes and programmed DNA elimination in nematodes, combining wet-lab experiments with custom C++ and Python tools for omics analysis. He earned a PhD at EMBL-EBI/University of Cambridge studying malaria parasite cell-surface protein evolution and previously applied bioinformatics in industry at bioMérieux. Comfortable across algorithmics and cellular biology, he routinely ships open-source code to support reproducible research. Colleagues value his ability to translate evolutionary questions into scalable computational pipelines and experimentally testable hypotheses.
