Bio

I obtained my PhD in 2005 from Université Paris Cité, where I specialized in quantitative genetics in vascular biology. After a postdoc at Imperial College London (2005–2009), I established my research programme, focusing on system-level understanding of macrophage biology in inflammatory conditions such as chronic kidney disease, ageing, and metabolic syndrome. To support this work, I was awarded the Imperial College Junior Research Fellowship (2009), followed by a series of tenured academic positions (Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Reader in Immunogenetics, and Visiting Professor), along with extramural funding as a Principal Investigator within the Department of Immunology and Inflammation, Imperial College London. In 2021, I joined Duke-NUS Medical School as Associate Professor and Deputy Director of the Centre for Computational Biology, Programme in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders. I currently run my laboratory within the Centre for Biomedical Data Science (CBDS), Duke-NUS Medical School. I am Co-Director of the Quantitative Biology and Medicine PhD Programme and a member of the Executive Committee of the Duke-NUS AI and Medical Sciences Initiative.
