Camille Berthelot wants to understand how changes in gene expression and gene regulation can result in the acquisition of new traits and diseases along evolution. During her PhD at ENS Paris, she examined the dynamics of chromosomal rearrangements in mammals to understand how natural selection acts on genome structures. She then joined the Flicek lab at EMBL-EBI in Cambridge as a postdoc to investigate how gene regulation has evolved across 100 million years of mammalian evolution. In 2019, she obtained an ERC Starting Grant to illuminate the mechanisms behind the acquisition of menstruation in primates, and more generally how the uterine mucosa has changed functionally across mammals. Camille is a Research Director at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, and she currently heads the Comparative Functional Genomics lab at Institut Pasteur in Paris.
