Originally from Montreal, Canada, he is a molecular biologist with extensive bioinformatics experience. Over the past several years, he has taken part in multiple genomic and functional screening efforts, including the generation of a large dataset of in vitro drug sensitivity assays (n > 35,000), the creation of a multi-user (server-client) database to store these assays and automatically process them, and the derivation of expression signatures for drug response in lung cancer as well as for classification of NSCLCs. He is collaborating closely with Drs. John Minna, Adi Gazdar and multiple investigators at UT Southwestern and other institutions.
