Summary
Laurent Guerard is a BioImage Analysis Specialist with 11 years’ experience building bespoke image-processing pipelines and training researchers at the Biozentrum, University of Basel. He combines programming fluency in Python, Groovy, Java, MATLAB and IJ Macro with deep domain knowledge across mouse behavior, single-cell, spatial transcriptomics, lightsheet and whole-slide imaging. Beyond scripting and workshops, he maintains and optimizes the computing and microscope infrastructure that keeps multi-group facilities running smoothly, and actively lowers the barrier to deep learning by publishing accessible documentation and tools. Trained in bioinformatics and cell biology, he uniquely inhabits the intersection of developer and scientist—prioritizing efficient, FAIR-compliant data practices so teams can focus on discovery rather than data wrangling.
