My name is Yassine Souilmi, PhD., MS. I am a Fulbright alumnus and an accomplished research scientist. I have made significant contributions to the fields of bioinformatics, evolutionary genomics, evolutionary medicine, and genomics with peer-reviewed publications in the top specialised bioinformatics journals and multidisciplinary research targeting a broader audience, with my contributions appearing in high-profile journals such as Nature Ecology and Evolutions, Current Biology, Science, the Lancet, and PNAS. I contributed to the earliest efforts (since 2012) to deploy genomic analysis workloads on complicated cloud computing infrastructure.

On November 19th, 2025, I’ll be co-presenting an invited talk at the Precision Public Health Transdisciplinary Conference 2025 (PPHTC2025), hosted by the Human Genetics Society of Australasia. This conference brings together researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals to explore cutting-edge advances in precision public health.
The conference will focus on transdisciplinary approaches to precision public health, including genomics, data science, and population health strategies. It’s an excellent opportunity to share insights and collaborate with experts across multiple disciplines working to improve public health outcomes through precision medicine.
