Along a 40-year scientific career, I published over 110 primary articles, most of them as the senior author. These include over 70 papers in computational biology between 2000 and 2016. These articles were cited 4000 times, one was cited over 800 times.
I also wrote or edited 26 scientific books; wrote 15 book chapters; and edited 7 special issues of scientific journals.
In addition, I annually organised 2-7 international conferences/schools between 2002 and 2017.
I organised, chaired or was an invited speaker at a total of 60 scientific meetings in synthetic biology between 2005 and 2018.
