Biography
Chunlong CHEN is Group leader of Replication program and genome instability team at Institut Currie. He is also a Research scientist at CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique from 2011 to present.From 2008-2011 he worked as a Post-doc at the team of Dr. Claude Thermes.He did his Ph.D in Bioinformatics from Paris-Sud University (Paris XI) from 2004 to 2007. As a computational biologist,He has long term experience in using high throughput genomic approaches and genome-wide data analyses to address fundamental biology problems, with particular interest in DNA replication and gene transcription regulation as well as their impact on organization, evolution and stability of the genomes.
Research Interest
His research work deals with 1.Determination of the replication program of the human genome by massive sequencing; 2. Genetic and epigenetic determinants of the replication program; 3. Gene organization, evolution and genome stability associated with the replication program; 4. Evolution of the replication program of eukaryotic genomes; 5. Epigenetic features responsible for common fragile site activity.
