I am PhD student at the University of Brescia (Italy), and I am currently working at the Laboratory of Epidemiology and Neuroimaging Alzheimer (LANE) (Brescia). My main interest is to study AD pathology using neuroimaging data, from structural and functional MRI to PET.

Olivier Quenez is a bioinformatics engineer at the Inserm unit U1245 and the University Hospital of Rouen, currently doing his PhD at the university of Rouen Normandie. After obtaining his master's degree, he first worked on the development of applications for biologists for data storage and processing, before going back to bioinformatics data analysis. In his team, “genetics of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia”, he is in charge of the bioinformatics analysis of sequencing data performed in the context of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases, as well as the implementation of new analysis approaches for high-throughput sequencing data. As part of his thesis work, he is developing an approach to detect copy number variations from exome sequencing data, based on the CANOES software. The aim is to apply this approach to case-control studies in the context of Alzheimer's disease research in order to identify potential new risk factors. He is also involved in several national training courses for biologists, where he gives an overview of the use of bioinformatics in the context of high-throughput sequencing, both in a theoretical and practical way. Finally, he is also a member of the board of BioinfoDiag, the national association for bioinformatics in diagnostics.
