Dr. Quentin Vanhaelen
Quentin Vanhaelen, Ph.D. was recently Post-doc fellow at
Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI), Ottawa, Canada. He is now
Founder of Insilicoscreen based in Belgium which is engaged in
mathematical modeling of cellular networks.
During his Ph.D. studies, he developed a
big interest in questions related to regenerative medicine. Because
our ability to use stem cells is directly related to the understanding
of their dynamical behavior, Quentin thinks that an engineering approach can be
of great help to develop systemic approaches capable of addressing
the current challenges in this field. His main area of interest is the
modeling and the understanding of the dynamic
of cellular networks. More precisely he focuses on the pathways playing a
critical role in stem cell development.
Quentin’s papers include
The cornucopia of meaningful leads: Applying deep adversarial autoencoders for new molecule development in oncology,
A comparative review of computational methods for pathway
perturbation analysis: dynamical and topological perspectives,
In silico Pathway Activation Network Decomposition Analysis (iPANDA) as a method for biomarker development,

Quentin earned his
Bachelor’s and Master’s in Physics (first class honor) at
Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 2006.
He earned his DEA in Sciences at ULB in 2007.
He earned his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics (Grant FNRS–FRIA) at
ULB in 2010 with the thesis
On the non equilibrium thermodynamics and dynamics of a deformable interface between two electro-magnetically controllable fluids.
He applied for patent
Biological Glue and Method for Obtaining a Biological Glue.
