Julien Dutheil is an Honorary Professor and Group Leader with 19 years of experience at the interface of evolutionary biology, statistics, and computational genomics. He develops and implements advanced models—often using HMMs and coalescent theory—to interrogate molecular evolution, population genomics, and systems biology across diverse taxa. Comfortable in C++, Python, Java, Perl and R, he translates theoretical innovations into widely applicable software (e.g., CoMap) and genome-wide inference tools. His career spans leading academic roles at the Max Planck Institutes, CNRS and Kiel University, combining hands-on coding with principal-investigator leadership. Notably, his work focuses on localizing mutations in space and time to reveal coevolution and biochemical constraints that are invisible to standard analyses.
