Camille BLERIOT

I am an immunologist specializing in macrophage biology, particularly in the contexts of cancer and metabolic disorders. My work focuses on understanding the identity, origin, and function of macrophages across different disease environments.

I earned my PhD in biochemistry from the University of Lyon, France, in 2010. My early postdoctoral research at the Institut Pasteur, Paris, under the mentorship of Dr. Marc Lecuit, focused on liver macrophages and their interactions with the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. This work laid the foundation for my interest in macrophage responses in diverse physiological and pathological settings.

In 2016, I relocated to Singapore for a second postdoctoral fellowship in Dr. Florent Ginhoux’s laboratory, where I continued my research on liver macrophages. During this period, I explored their developmental origins, heterogeneity, and functions, while also beginning to investigate macrophage roles in tumor microenvironments.

In 2020, I returned to France and was appointed a permanent researcher position at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). I am now working at Gustave Roussy, focusing on macrophage involvement in cancer. My research employs a combination of murine models, advanced imaging, and multi-omics approaches (including single-cell RNA sequencing, ATAC sequencing, and lipidomics) to unravel the complexity of macrophage biology across diseases.
