Summary
Jean-philippe Villemin is a bioinformatics software engineer and postdoctoral researcher with over a decade of experience bridging cancer genomics, epigenetics, and scalable computational tooling. He combines a PhD in Bioinformatics and dual MSc degrees with strong software engineering skills—advanced SQL/schema design, Python/Perl scripting, R analytics, Java web frameworks, and containerized deployment—to build reproducible pipelines, databases and web interfaces for NGS and spatial transcriptomics projects. At IRCM he applies these strengths to decipher tumor heterogeneity and single‑cell/spatial transcriptomics, having previously developed and maintained Galaxy integrations, Bioconductor packages and production pipelines for clinical sequencing. Known for pragmatic optimization and monitoring expertise, he pairs hands-on tuning of databases and HPC job schedulers with a continuous integration mindset to deliver robust research software. Based in Montpellier, he blends deep domain knowledge of alternative splicing and epigenetics with practical engineering to move complex analyses from prototype to clinic-ready workflows.
