Matthieu Foll
Computational biologist and Team Leader in Lyon, France
I am a computational biologist and a Team Leader of the Computational Cancer Genomics Team at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC-WHO). My research integrates genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, single-cell and spatial data, and digital pathology to study tumour evolution and improve molecular classification, with a focus on thoracic and other poor-prognosis cancers. I also chair IARC’s Data Science Steering Committee and co-created the Rare Cancers Genomics initiative. Earlier in my career, I developed Bayesian and population-genetic methods and open-source software. I am committed to open science, reusable research software, and interdisciplinary training.
