Kévin Contrepois

Kévin Contrepois is a postdoctoral research scientist in the Snyder laboratory at Stanford University, California, USA, where he leads the metabolite and lipid profiling research. By integrating multi-omics data sets, he is interested in the discovery of biomarkers and in understanding the molecular mechanisms contributing to disease onset, with a special emphasis on host-gut microbiome interactions. He recently developed an optimized analytical platform involving the combination of HILIC- and RPLC-MS for the untargeted metabolic profiling of human urine and plasma. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Paris-Sud (France) where under the supervision of Carl Mann and François Fenaille, his doctoral research focused on identifying chromatin modifications associated with cellular senescence and understanding their biological implications. He developed an UHPLC-MS methodology on intact proteins to characterize and quantify histone variants and post-translational modifications in a high-throughput manner.
