Jean-Michel Claverie is Professor of Medical Bioinformatics
at the School of Medicine of the Université de la
Méditerranée, and a consultant in genomics and
bioinformatics. He is the founder and current head of the
Structural & Genomic Information Laboratory, located in
Marseilles, a sunny city on the Mediterranean coast of France.
Using science as a pretext to travel, Jean-Michel has held
positions in Paris (France), Sherbrooke (PQ, Canada), the Salk
Institute (La Jolla, CA), the Pasteur Institute (Paris), Incyte
pharmaceutical (Palo Alto, CA); and the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (Bethesda, MD). He has used computers in
biology since the early days -- his Ph.D. work involved
modeling biochemical reactions by programming an 8K Honeywell 516
computer right from the console switches! Although he has no clear
recollection of it, he has been credited with introducing the
French word "bioinformatique" in the late eighties,
before involuntarily coining the catchy
"bioinformatics" by mistranslating it while giving a
talk in English!

Jean-Michel's current research interests are in microbial and
structural genomics, and in the development of bioinformatic
methods for the prediction of gene function. He is the author or
coauthor of more than 150 scientific publications, and a member of
numerous international review panels and scientific councils. In
his spare time, he enjoys the relaxed pace of life in Marseilles,
with his wife Chantal and their two sons, Nicholas and Raphael.

Cedric Notredame is a researcher at the French National
Centre for Scientific Research. Cedric has used and abused the
facilities offered by science to wander around Europe. After a
Ph.D. at EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany) and at the European
Bioinformatics Institute (Cambridge, UK) under the supervision of
Des Higgins (yes, the ClustalW guy), Cedric did a post-doc at the
National Institute of Medical Research (London, UK), in the lab of
Willie Taylor
