Bastien JOB
Senior Bioinformatics Engineer
Bastien earned a master's degree in functional genomics engineering. He then joined Gustave Roussy where he specialized in analyzing tumor copy number profiles for the CIT Project (Carte d'Identité des Tumeurs, LNCC). He later became a member of the Bioinformatics Team within the institutional Genomics Core Facility. Since then, Bastien has led the development and analysis of various high-throughput sequencing technologies, including single-cell and spatial omics. He will join Elsa Bernard’s team in 2026.
