Solenne Correard

Solenne Correard is a molecular biologist and bioinformatician passionate about the complexity of genomes. She did her Ph.D. in France, studying dog genomes to identify and characterize variants implicated in neurological disorders. After that, she moved to Canada for a post-doc with the Silent Genomes Project, a project aiming to reduce health care disparities and improve diagnostic success for children with genetic diseases from Indigenous populations in Canada. She then joined the Canadian Biogenome Project as their bioinformatic lead, generating reference genome for multiple Canadian species. Solenne is interested in using genomic to help navigate some of today’s worldwide challenges, such as protecting biodiversity, studying climate change repercussions on fresh water / food supply, and ensuring equal access to personalized medicine to everyone around the globe, regardless of their origin or economic background
