Christine Sinoquet is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Nantes, France, where she works in the area of bioinformatics and computational biology at the Computer Science Institute of Nantes-Atlantic. She holds a M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Rennes 1 and received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from this same institution. During her Ph.D. position at the Inria Centre of Rennes, she specialized in bioinformatics. She has initiated two Master degree programs in bioinformatics (University of Clermont, France, and Nantes). She currently serves as the Head of this second Master degree program since 2005. Her research activities have been focused on various topics including data correction prior to molecular phylogeny inference, motif discovery in biological sequences, comparative genomics and imputation of missing genotypic data. Her current research interests are algorithmic and machine learning aspects of complex data analysis in the biomedical
