Where biology
meets engineering.
I'm Gilbert El Khoury — a Bioinformatician and Full-Stack / DevOps Engineer based in Saarbrücken, Germany. I bridge biological domain knowledge and modern software infrastructure, making me a rare fit for pharma, biotech, and computational biology teams.
Data Science · Full-Stack
B.Sc. Bioinformatics
A unique blend of science and code
With a Bachelor's and ongoing Master's in Bioinformatics, plus hands-on industry experience in DevOps, automation QA in a healthcare context, and mobile development, I bring something most engineers can't: a genuine understanding of the biological problems behind the software.
Protein structure analysis, biological data pipelines, R & Python for statistical modelling. Deep domain knowledge from both biology and computer science perspectives.
Full-stack web development, containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, software architecture. Building infrastructure that research and clinical tools can depend on.
End-to-end automation testing for healthcare supply-chain software, ensuring pharmaceutical and regulated software meets rigorous efficiency and compliance standards.

Academic foundation
Selected work
DataM8 is a Python library for storing, organizing, and querying ligands and their conformers, receptor, and docking data in a PostgreSQL-backed registry. It combines ligand registration, target/receptor management, docking result tracking, scoring-function mapping, and consensus analysis behind a single importable package.
In this work, we have developed PyProtif, a plugin for the PyMOL molecular visualization program, which automatically retrieves protein structural and functional motifs from different databases and integrates them in PyMOL for visualization and analyses. Through an expendable menu and a user-friendly interface, the plugin grants the users the ability to study simultaneously multiple proteins and to select and manipulate each motif separately.
A web server designed to assess the quality of protein tertiary structures with minimal user friction. ODIN integrates a broad ensemble of widely-used protein quality assessment programs and delivers a fast consensus quality score representing the overall quality of the submitted protein module.
