Summary
Mickael Leclercq is a research-focused computational biologist and software-savvy scientist with over a decade of experience combining computer science and molecular biology to tackle large-scale genomics problems. Holding a PhD from McGill, he has led machine learning and multi-omics projects, built a bioinformatics big-data platform with ElasticSearch, and published on microRNAs in high-impact journals. As a Research Associate he supervises teams, represents labs at conferences, writes grant applications, and maintains the lab’s computing and web infrastructure—bridging hands-on systems administration with algorithmic development. Resourceful and largely self-taught, he frequently develops new tools and skills to solve practical research challenges and has experience running analyses on supercomputers. Based in Quebec, he pairs deep academic rigor with pragmatic engineering, from database and web design to scalable ML workflows for bioinformatics.
