Yves Rozenholc, Chairman
Yves Rozenholc is Professor of Data Science at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Université Paris Cité. He heads the lab UR 7537 BioSTM “Biostatistics, Processing and Modeling of Biological Data”. His background ranges from applied mathematics to mathematical applications for life sciences. He has directed or co-directed projects such as “Statistical facial reconstruction”, “Tumor angiogenesis segmentation and monitoring in DCE-MRI” and “Liquid biopsy”, for which he was involved in the first method for screening tumor mutations from circulating DNA in 2015. Today, he is involved in the development of a chemical nose (array of non specific sensors trained to have predictive value).
In March 2020, he founded the Covid-19 Museum which is part of the Now Museum, bridge between data sciences, computer sciences, arts and humanities and social sciences. The Now.Museum aims to help capture, through its digital manifestations, the present in the making, as a shared cultural heritage.
