  Pr. Brunet qualified as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (Paris, France) and later completed her PhD in Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, United Kingdom) under a prestigious Gates Cambridge scholarship. She did her postdoctoral training in Biochemistry and Functional Genomics at the University of Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, Canada) and, in 2021 she established her own research group at the Medical Genetics Service of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Sherbrooke. During her postdoctoral studies she co-developed and managed the OpenProt resource, the first proteogenomics resource endorsing a polycistronic annotation of eukaryotic genomes. OpenProt is now co-led by her lab and that of Pr Roucou, her former supervisor. Beyond OpenProt, her research focuses on non-annotated coding sequences in our genomes. She uses both fundamental and computational research methods to better explore biological data and understand human diseases, focusing on pediatric cancers and rare diseases. She was awarded a FRQS Junior 1 career grant recognizing her leadership at the intersection of health sciences and artificial intelligence.
