Founder of Korilog, Dr. Durand has been involved in several bioinformatics R&D projects dealing with the analysis of genomics and proteomics data since 1994. He used to work on the sequencing of the yeast S. cerevisiae genome, the structural analysis of human enzymes involved in genetic diseases, the studies of bacterial protein-protein interactions, the use of formal language to scan sequence databases and the design of innovative graphical interfaces to analyse biological data. This work has been conducted in public research institutes (FSAGx , CNRS , INRIA and NCBI ) and in the pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries (Aventis and Hybrigenics). Dr. Durand holds an Engineering degree in Chemistry and Bio-industries from FSAGx and a PhD in Molecular Biophysics from UPMC. He is the author and co-author of more than 20 scientific publications and has contributed to several bioinformatics softwares.

Chief Technical Officer, Dr Kerbellec has been involved in research projects related to sequence analysis and grammatical inference (artificial intelligence) applied to the discovery of patterns and automata on protein sequences.
These works have been done in the Barton Group at the University of Dundee, the Lina's Bioinformatics Team at the University of Nantes, and the INRIA's Symbiose Team.
Dr Kerbellec holds a Master in Genomics & Computer Science and a PhD in Computational Biology from the University of Rennes.
