Anne-Claire Haury

I'm a 3rd year PhD student at the Center for computational biology (we call it CBIO, it's easier!) which is part of the INSERM U900/Mines/Curie Bioinformatics unit. I'm advised by Jean-Philippe Vert. We're interested in (molecular) biological problems and intend to help solving them using machine learning, a marriage between applied mathematics and computer science.
I am currently working on biomarker identification for cancer diagnosis or prognosis as well as gene regulatory network inference.
The defense of my PhD is scheduled on Friday, December 14th, 2012 at the Institut Curie.

TIGRESS

We participated into the DREAM5 Challenge 4 in 2010: Network Inference. Our team ranked 2nd on the in-silico network.
Everything you want to know about TIGRESS is on the TIGRESS page!

Visits

During Spring 2011, I visited Sandrine Dudoit's team in UC Berkeley for a RNA-seq project.
