Hi, I'm Diego Javier Zea 👋

🧬 I'm an Associate Professor at Université Paris-Saclay, working in structural bioinformatics and molecular evolution. My research focuses on understanding proteins, particularly how they evolve, move, interact, and function while considering complex aspects such as protein disorder and alternative splicing. To accomplish this, I perform diverse protein sequence and structural analysis, integrating machine learning and statistics as needed.

👨‍💻 I am a skilled Python and Julia programmer passionate about making open-source bioinformatics tools. I am the leading developer and maintainer of:

• 🐉 MIToS: A package for protein sequence and structure analysis in the Julia programming language.
• ⚡ ThorAxe: A Python software to assess the evolutionary conservation of alternative splicing isoforms.

📒 I also wrote the book Interactive Visualization and Plotting with Julia which shares methods and techniques for analyzing and visualizing data using the Julia language. You can find the example codes, which are explained in detail within the book, on this website and repo.
