Ploufragan, Brittany, France
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGautier Richard is a molecular epidemiologist and bioinformatics researcher with eight years of experience applying sequencing, phylogenetics and phylodynamics to track viral genome evolution in swine and assess zoonotic risk. Based at ANSES Ploufragan, he leads ESFLU COST Action WG2 to coordinate European swine influenza sequence sharing and analysis while developing automated NGS genotyping pipelines. His background blends deep epigenomics and 3D genome expertise from Max Planck and INRA—integrating Hi-C, ChIP/ATAC, BS- and RNA-seq—and a track record of tool development (HiCExplorer, deepStats, Snakemake workflows) and cloud deployment. Comfortable moving between hands-on lab data processing and coordinating international collaborations, he combines rigorous computational skills (Python, R, Bash, Snakemake, Galaxy) with grant writing and team leadership. A less obvious strength is his ability to translate complex multi-omic patterns into actionable surveillance outputs that directly inform outbreak prevention.
