Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolValentin Wucher is a computational biologist and post-doctoral researcher with 11 years of experience applying statistical learning and high-throughput sequencing analysis to questions in genetics and genomics. Trained in biology and bioinformatics (PhD and MSc work in Rennes and Paris), he has combined hands‑on programming in Python, C, Java, R and Bash with logical programming (Answer Set Programming) to model regulatory networks such as microRNA–mRNA interactions in insects and genetic studies in dogs. His career spans academia and major research centers (INRA/INRIA, IGDR, CRG, Hospices Civils de Lyon) where he translates complex experimental data into reproducible computational workflows on Unix systems. Comfortable with biostatistics and advanced analysis methods, he brings both wet‑lab intuition and strong software engineering habits to collaborative projects. A less obvious strength is his experience bridging formal logic programming with probabilistic/statistical approaches, enabling novel ways to encode biological hypotheses for automated reasoning and discovery.
