Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJihed Chouaref is a bioinformatics scientist with nine years’ experience bridging wet-lab expertise and computational genomics, now based in France and currently at Thalya. He transitioned from hands-on molecular and cytogenetic work during a PhD and postdoc—developing ChIP/ATAC-seq assays and Snakemake pipelines—to full-time bioinformatics roles, giving him uncommon fluency across experiment design, data generation, and analysis. Jihed has applied this end-to-end skillset in academic and industry settings, including Leiden University Medical Center and Annogen B.V., and is comfortable leading reproducible workflows with version control. A quick learner with a strong analytical mind and resilience, he embraces new methods and machine learning approaches to solve biological questions. He is autonomous, adaptable, and enjoys mentoring students, reflecting both technical depth and collaborative instincts. Fluent in cross-disciplinary translation, he often uncovers insights that connect assay limitations to computational choices, accelerating project impact.
