À propos de Pierre

Data Scientist for almost 2 years, I am fascinated by cutting-edge technology and CRISPR Genome Engineering particularly.
I have experience carrying out Machine Learning projects from their early conception, through data engineering, model building and optimization, all the way to production. I previously worked with CROs, pharmaceutical laboratories and biomedical research centers (Excelya, Bristol Myers Squibb, Harvard Medical School, etc), but I am open and curious to discover other sectors.

My technical expertise revolves around the Python stack (Jupyter, Scikit-learn, Tensorflow, Pandas, Seaborn, etc.), I am also proficient in R, SQL and I am comfortable working on UNIX systems and within the Agile methodology.
Furthermore, I am a great communicator and I really enjoy teaching and vulgarizing Data Science to a non-technical audience.

    CENTRES DE RECHERCHE
    mars 2018 - août 2018 (6 mois)
    Greater Boston Area
    6 months Master's internship in the Perrimon Lab at Harvard Medical School, Genetics Department.
    Subject : ⇒ Machine Learning predictions of CRISPR/Cas9 on-target efficiency in Drosophila melanogaster.

    In this project my aim was to provide the Drosophila RNAi Screening Center (DRSC) with an accurate CRISPR sgRNA efficiency scoring tool in order to improve the sgRNA design pipeline. I used Machine Learning algorithms to model the efficiency of sgRNAs targeting essential genes, based on their characteristics, in a D.mel genome-wide pooled CRISPR screen. The Machine Learning models identified were implemented in a command-line tool with which single or batch sgRNA efficiency predictions can be made from the raw sgRNA sequence (see GitHub link).

    Skills :
    ➤ Programming and Machine Learning in Python and R
    ➤ CRISPR/Cas9 genetic engineering, molecular genetics and genomics
    ➤ Scientific literature review, autonomy, public speaking, GitHub version control
    Python Jupyter Pandas Scikit-learn Machine learning Data science Data Engineer GitHub CRISPR Genome Engineering
  • Pierre and Marie Curie University
    Bioinformatics Data Scientist
    CENTRES DE RECHERCHE
    juillet 2017 - août 2017 (1 mois)
    Paris Area, France
    Two months internship in the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and Condensed Matter. (LPTMC - UMR CNRS 7600)
    Subject : ⇒ Expressed genes domain identification of different cell types by high-throughput data analysis.

    I helped in the development of a machine learning pipeline to infer the best preprocessing method to detect expression signals in complex datasets. The datasets' cell types are then to be clusterized into large cellular groups (brain, blood, gut, etc...) according to their presumed expression pattern (unsupervised machine learning).

    Skills :
    ➤ Python programming (Jupyter, NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib etc...)
    ➤ Handling very large datasets (over 250Gb of RAM)
    ➤ Data cleaning, visualization and processing (.bed/.hdf5, large arrays, sparse matrix etc...)
    Python Scikit-learn Machine learning Data Engineer Pandas Data science Jupyter GitHub Data visualisation
