Trained researcher in evolutionary biology and biostatistics expert, I co-founded genknowme – the Swiss company for epigenetic testing – with my wife Semira. I obtained a PhD in eco-evolution (UNIL, 2012), followed by a first post-doctorate in conservation biology (UNIBE) and a second four-year one at UC Berkeley (2023-2017) where I studied eco-evolutionary processes, i.e. environment-genetic interactions. Before creating my company, I headed the Swiss Fisheries Advisory Board (FIBER), worked as a fish ecologist in an impact study office, and founded a consultancy firm specializing in environmental statistics.
