Metabolomics and Systems Biology

Maroun Bou Sleiman obtained his PhD in the Laboratories of Professor Bart Deplancke and Professor Bruno Lemaitre, working on the genetic and molecular bases of infection in the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel. He is a Scientist in the Laboratory of Integrative Systems Physiology headed by Professor Johan Auwerx at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne (Switzerland). He works at the frontier between genetics, systems biology, and multi-omics in order to understand complex traits and diseases in different panels such as the BXD, HDP, and ITP in mice, as well as Caenorhabditis elegans RIAILs (recombinant inbred advanced intercross lines). These systems genetics approaches pave the way for a better mechanistic understanding of complex biological systems and pave the way for mechanistically-informed precision medicine.
