Predicting the Mechanisms of Action of drugs (Part I)
NOTE: This post is still work in progress
Welcome to my personal web page. I am a research scientist at Saez Lab (Systems Biomedicine, Heidelberg University) where I am currently working on biological network inference using Machine Learning and constrained optimization, with applications in cell signaling and metabolism. I am interested in deciphering how complex biological systems behave under different conditions through mechanistic and computational models that integrate both prior biological knowledge and experimental data, with the aim of discovering novel biomedical applications. Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Computational Systems Biology at INRA Toxalim (Toulouse, France), where I was working on computational models to understand and predict the metabolic dysregulation of cancer cells due to mutations in the TP53 gene.

Explaining Artificial Intelligence (AI) in one hour to high school students is a challenging task. The topic is very broad and it usually requires previous k...
I have to admit that I’m a great fan of the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. This algorithm, invented by R. Storn and K. Price in 1997, is a very power...
