Dr. Jacques Corbeil focuses on using the latest techniques in bioinformatics and machine learning to assist diagnostic, prognostic and response to treatment. Modern genomic and metabolomic techniques generate a deluge of data that need to be interpreted using novel bioinformatics approaches. Dr. Corbeil is using state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodologies to facilitate the interpretation of complex data including high throughput mass spectrometry and next gen sequencing. Dr. Corbeil’s research includes investigating how infectious microorganisms interact with their host, the effects of antibiotics on our microbial flora, exploring how to design small molecules and drugs to interfere with specific microbial functions and integration of omics. Dr. Corbeil collaborates with many industries to ameliorate their process and implement artificial intelligence strategies. Dr. Corbeil operates at the interface of computer sciences and omic sciences. He specializes in infectious diseases research and big data analytics. Since 2004 and until 2025, Dr. Corbeil holds the Canada Research Chair in Medical Genomics (Tier 1).
