Dominique is General Manager at QFAB, a multi-institution collaboration whose role is to provide advanced bioinformatics solutions to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, clinical and research communities. In this role, Dominique is leading the development of QFAB’s platform for integrated and accessible bioinformatics which combines collaborative tools, Omics data integration, pathway and network analysis, High Performance Computing and Grid technologies. Prior to joining QFAB, Dominique was Head of Research at Bio-Layer, a biotech company that became publicly listed in 2005. He has designed and developed a high-throughput proteomics screening platform to improve applications in the biotechnology, diagnostics and pharmaceutical industries. Integral to this platform is a full hardware and software system for collection, management, search and tracking of experimental data, including molecular structures, biological and analytical data. From 1997 to 2001, Dominique was team leader at Synt:em, a French biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery of drug candidates for Central Nervous System diseases. He led the development of Synt:em proprietary software, Diverser, specifically designed for molecular diversity analysis and compound library design in the context of High-Throughput Screening. He also developed methodologies based on unsupervised neural networks for the analysis of large and complex chemical and biological datasets. Prior joining Synt:em, Dominique was ARC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Sydney and then at the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra. During these two years, he developed a computation method based on molecular dynamics simulations to determine binding mode and free energy of binding of potential inhibitors. In 1993, he received his Ph.D. in computational chemistry from the University of Bordeaux - France where he developed a computer program for the interactive study and visualisation of molecular systems interactions. Dominique has over 19 years experience in software development, information management, data mining and data modelling applied to life science applications. He is the author of more than 40 scientific publications and communications, and is co-inventor of 3 patents. He is also member of the Australian Computer Society.
