Dr. Guillaume Pavlovic is Head of Genetic Engineering and Model Validation at PHENOMIN- Institut Clinique de la Souris (https://www.phenomin.fr), one of the largest French academic centres in phenogenomics and a founding member of the CELPHEDIA infrastructure (a national operational research infrastructure for animal research; https://celphedia.eu). His work consists of supporting the scientific community, both public and private, which has led to the development of 1,500 genetically modified rodent models. Guillaume therefore manages a range of services including genome engineering, expression analysis and microbiome metagenomics. He participates, and on several occasions coordinates for the ICS, various large national and international academic projects or collaborations with the industry. As a technologist, he has built and applied a wide range of technologies, including recognized expertise in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and advanced molecular biology. As a scientist, Guillaume has a keen interest in research reproducibility. He is actively involved in this topic as a trainer, reviewer, co-editor of journals or expert for the evaluation of infrastructure or scientific projects. In recent years, he and his team have been particularly active in publishing technical papers or reviews.
