We were delighted to welcome Dr. Elise Billoir, Associate Professor at the University of Lorraine currently on delegation to CNRS, as the very first visitor of the IRL EARLY. Elise is an expert in the analysis of large and complex datasets, including genomic and transcriptomic data. Her visit this week was a preliminary stay ahead of a four-month research visit in early 2026, during which she will help EARLY researchers deepen their transcriptomic analyses and strengthen their data-driven approaches.
