Alexandre Guimond’s Summary
From a research background in medical image analysis, my interests in applied applications lead me to clinical research environments and high-tech industries. I have experience with successful start-ups and large corporate environments. I’m currently focused on software development management and processes in regulated environments.
Alexandre Guimond’s Specialties:
Medical software, image analysis, fusion / registration / segmentation
Alexandre Guimond’s Experience
-
Director of R&D
DOSIsoft
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Medical Devices industry)
July 2007 — Present (11 months)
Management of the R&D group that provides clinical software solutions for treatment planning systems in radiotherapy.
I'm also managing the MINIARA project, a 3 year multi-institution (2 commercial, 10 academic) development project aimed at the valorisation of high technology in radiotherapy. -
Senior Scientist
Siemens Molecular Imaging
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; SI; Computer Software industry)
September 2005 — June 2007 (1 year 10 months)
Following the acquisition of CTI by Siemens, I was detached to Paris (France). There I defined research projects for Siemens Molecular Imaging in conjunction with the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in molecular imaging and preclinical environments and applications. I also maintained my role as a Senior Scientist at SMI Oxford, where I was responsible for the technological developments regarding registration and fusion technologies, the core functionality of most of our products.

Assistant Chief Scientist
CTI Molecular Imaging
(Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; CTMI; Computer Software industry)
September 2003 — August 2005 (2 years)
After the acquisition of Mirada Solutions by CTI Molecular Imaging, my role at CTI involved reporting to the Chief Scientist of the bioinformatics division of the company (Dr. Jerome Declerck) and the UK-based executive team. I was chiefly responsible for setting R&D and strategic directions in the area of image fusion and functional image analysis for several of Mirada/CTI’s core products. I am jointly responsible for managing the science team (9 scientists) and external collaborations with a number of institutions, including UCLA, Essen, CEA, Oxford and MGH.

Senior Scientist
Mirada Solutions Ltd
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)
September 2002 — August 2003 (1 year)
I was recruited from Harvard by the CEO of Mirada Solutions late in 2002. During my initial time at Mirada, I helped to define the framework and architecture for our image analysis products, as well as creating key intellectual property for business in the area of medical image registration and fusion. Mirada was acquired by CTI Molecular Imaging in August 2003 and I was significantly involved in setting the scientific strategy for the business, post-acquisition.

Instructor in Radiology / Research Associate
Harvard Medical School / Brigham & Women’s Hospital
(Educational Institution; 1001-5000 employees; Research industry)
January 2001 — June 2002 (1 year 6 months)
Having being instrumental in establishing the Center for Neurological Imaging (CNI) (see below), my responsibilities regarding research and the direction of the CNI IT infrastructure were increased to include the direction of all image processing research within the CNI, the management of collaborations with other institutions, and grant funding responsibilities. As such I was part of four grant applications, two of which were funded (one as Principal Investigator). I was also managing research collaborations with various other institutions including the Surgical Planning Lab, MGH, Montreal Neurological Institute, and UCLA.

Research Fellow (Postdoctoral Training)
Harvard Medical School / Brigham & Women’s Hospital
(Educational Institution; 1001-5000 employees; Research industry)
November 1999 — December 2000 (1 year 2 months)
I joined Harvard Medical School and Brigham & Women’s Hospital as a postdoctoral research fellow to drive the establishment, development, and growth of the CNI, the imaging branch of the Center for Neurological Diseases. My role was two-fold. On one hand I was responsible for the CNI IT infrastructure (computational resources, archiving and networking). On the second front I was heading multi-disciplinary research projects focused on multiple sclerosis (MS) under the supervision of Charles Guttmann, the CNI director. Example projects were the development of an atlas of lesion development in MS, or the mapping white matter fiber tracks in MS patients and their relation to lesion development. These projects involved the supervision of radiologists, neurologists, mathematicians, physicists, and computer engineers.
