Yannick Wurm’s Experience

• Teaching Assistant

  Université de Lausanne

  (Educational Institution; 1001-5000 employees; Higher Education industry)

  January 2006 — Present (3 years 11 months)

  I participate in the development and teaching (practicals) of several undergraduate courses. They include introductions to Biostatistics and to Bioinformatics.

• PhD Student member

  Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics

  (Research industry)

  2006 — Present (3 years )

• Active Member

  Toastmasters

  (Non-Profit; 10,001 or more employees; Non-Profit Organization Management industry)

  July 2005 — Present (4 years 5 months)

  Have been an active member at unil-epfl Toastmasters since 2006. Improving my own leadership and speaking skills and mentoring others to improve theirs.
  As vice president of public relations in 2007, I dramatically increased visibility of our club by leading several visual marketing campaigns. In addition I was able to get both press and radio coverage.

• PhD Student

  Department of Ecology and Evolution, Universite de Lausanne

  (Educational Institution; 1001-5000 employees; Research industry)

  January 2005 — Present (4 years 11 months)

  Significant theoretical work has been conducted to explain how complex societies may have evolved. For the most part, an insect's behavior is governed by the genetic information inherited from its parents. It should thus be possible to discover the molecular-genetic mechanisms determining behavior.
  
  My aim is to contribute to unraveling the molecular basis of how sociality evolved and of how genes control interactions between a society's members. To address this question, I work with the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta, a not-yet-quite-model species which has been extensively studied, due to its status as an invasive pest in the Southern United States. The genomic tools I use include expression assays using cDNA micro-arrays, and bioinformatic analyses.

• Internship/Research trainee
