Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa CorreiaThroughout my PhD and postdoctoral studies I was trained in world-renowned laboratories and institutions in the United States of America (University of Washington and The Scripps Research Institute). Very early in my scientific career I found out my fascination about protein structure and function. My PhD studies evolved in the direction of immunogen design and vaccine engineering which sparked my interest in the many needs and opportunities in vaccinology and translational research. My efforts resulted in an enlightening piece of work where for the first time, computationally designed immunogens elicited potent neutralizing antibodies. During my postdoctoral studies I joined a chemical biology laboratory at the Scripps Research Institute. In this stage I developed novel chemoproteomics methods for the identification of protein-small molecule interaction sites in complex proteomes. In March 2015, I joined the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) – Switzerland as a tenure track assistant professor. The focus of my research group is to develop computational tools for protein design with particular emphasis in applying these strategies to immunoengineering (e.g. vaccine and cancer immunotherapy). The activities in my laboratory focus on computational design methods development and experimental characterization of the designed proteins. Our laboratory has been awarded with 2 prestigious research grants from the European Research Council. Lastly, I have been awarded the prize for best teacher of Life sciences in 2019.

Alain DufauxAprès obtention d'un diplôme d'ingénieur EPFL en électricité en 1994, Alain Dufaux a rejoint l'Institut de Microtechnique (IMT) de l'Université de Neuchâtel, dans l'équipe du Professeur Pellandini (Laboratoire d'Electronique et Traitement de Signal). Il s'y est d'abord spécialisé dans les techniques de traitement de la parole (méthodes de compression et de reconnaissance automatique), avant d'enchaîner avec une thèse de doctorat consacrée à la détection et la reconnaissance de signaux audio à large bande et à caractère impulsif. En 2001, il a participé au lancement de l'entreprise Dspfactory SA à Marin, filiale de la société canadienne Dspfactory Ltd. Active dans le développement de processeurs DSP programmables dédiés aux applications à très faible consommation et très faible encombrement (aides auditives, applications consumer audio ultra-low-power, applications médicales diverses), cette compagnie a été acquise en 2004 par la multi-nationale AMI Semiconductor. Durant 6 ans, Alain Dufaux y a assuré diverses fonctions : - responsable d'un groupe de recherche en traitement de signal audio et images - membre du groupe de développement et implémentation d'algorithmes DSP low-power au Canada - spécialiste pour le traitement de signal dans l'équipe de support clients, actif notamment dans l'élaboration de trainings et tutoriaux dédiés aux bancs de filtres multicadences à très faible retard et aux techniques de traitement de signal pour aides auditives. De retour à l'EPFL en novembre 2006, Alain Dufaux s'est d'abord consacré durant 5 ans à la gestion de l'équipe Vision & Embedded DSP , dans le laboratoire de Production Microtechnique (LPM), à la définition des projets de recherche et des partenariats avec l'industrie, ainsi qu'au suivi des projets et à l'encadrement et la co-direction des thèses de doctorats. Il est également intervenu comme Chargé de Cours durant 3 ans pour le cours "Méthodes de Production". C'est au printemps 2011, qu'Alain Dufaux rejoint le Centre MetaMedia (MMC), fraîchement lancé à l'EPFL par la Vice-Présidence pour l'Innovation et le Transfert Technologique. En qualité de chef de projets durant 3 ans, son activité se partage entre la gestion opérationnelle du "Montreux Jazz Digital Project", et la définition et le suivi des nombreux projets d'innovation lancés par le centre en collaboration avec certains laboratoires de l'EPFL (traitement de signal, acoustique). Au mois de juin 2014, Alain Dufaux a repris la direction des opérations et des développements du centre Metamedia.
