Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDamien Richard is a virology and genomics researcher with a decade of experience applying second- and third-generation NGS, comparative genomics and phylogenetics to trace the evolutionary history of human and animal pathogens. Based in Montpellier, he combines hands-on bioinformatics (Perl, R, Bash) with field and lab experience from plant pathology to marine conservation, giving him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on pathogen ecology and evolution. He has investigated topics from SARS-CoV-2 evolution to bacterial causes of sepsis and UTI, and has worked with ancient DNA signals in some projects. At IRD and UCL he bridges academic research and large-scale NGS analysis pipelines, often designing reproducible workflows and analyses for complex datasets. Colleagues value his mix of rigorous population-genetic inference and practical pipeline development that turns sequencing data into evolutionary insight.
