Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEtienne Kornobis is a bioinformatician with over a decade of experience bridging evolutionary biology and computational genomics, currently based at Institut Pasteur in Paris. Trained with a PhD in population genetics and phylogeography from the University of Iceland, he has led transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses across diverse non-model species using both short- and long-read technologies. He developed TRUFA, a user-friendly web platform for de novo RNA-seq on cluster infrastructure, and has designed pipelines and platforms for many sequencing projects while managing a dozen research projects. A dedicated mentor and instructor, he teaches scientific Python, R, and reproducible bioinformatics practices, and has a particular interest in alternative splicing detection and improving reproducibility in genomics workflows. Notably, his career blends field-driven evolutionary questions (amphipods, Conus, Junco, caecilians) with pragmatic tooling and project leadership in core sequencing facilities.
