He deployed a genomic platform on a grid infrastructure within the framework of the DataGrid project. He was involved in the RUGBI project (2004-2006), supported by the French ministry of research, which aimed to create a set of grid services for the bioinformatics. He built a bioinformatics software manager and a tool for updating biological database on grid. In 2005 and 2006, he was also in charge of the first and the second biomedical data challenges, called WISDOM, in the EGEE and EGEE-II project about the drug discovery against malaria and avian flu. These experience were the first large scale production of biological results in a grid infrastructure.
