Alexandre Bouillon

Bio: Alexandre has nurtured a lifelong passion for studying life in all its forms since his childhood in France. This curiosity, coupled with an early discovery of programming in high school, led him to pursue an engineering degree at EPFL in Switzerland. He earned both his Bachelor's and Master's in Life Sciences Engineering, where he honed a diverse skill set in molecular and cellular biology, mathematics, statistics, and artificial intelligence. During his time at EPFL, Alexandre engaged in numerous projects, including linking retinal features to the development of specific diseases, modelling the impact of cognition on fruit fly evolution, and validating lipidomics models for cell state prediction using computer simulations. His work reflects a deep commitment to advancing our understanding of biological systems through computational and mathematical approaches. Alexandre’s research interests encompass modelling, machine learning, computational biology, and the study of non-human organisms. Driven by a desire to push the boundaries of knowledge, he is dedicated to exploring the intricate mechanisms of life and contributing to the scientific community.
