Cambridge Seminar in Somatic Mosaicism

This will be online seminars focused on somatic mosaicism, a rapidly evolving field with major implications for cancer, ageing, and rare disease research. 

 We are delighted to have Elsa Bernard as a featured speaker for the first session. 

Elsa Bernard will be discussing  `Clonal Haematopoiesis in Cancer: Diagnosis, Monitoring and Systemic Impact'. 

 Elsa Bernard is a Group Leader at Institut Gustave Roussy since 2024, where her team works on cancer genomics, with a focus on early cancer detection, tumour evolution, genotype-phenotype relationships, and the determinants of response and resistance to treatments. They develop clinical decision tools that support diagnostic classification and patient risk stratification. 

 Previously, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow and senior scientist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, USA) from 2016 to 2021 in the laboratory of Elli Papaemmanuil, and at the Francis Crick Institute (London, UK) from 2021 to 2023 in the laboratory of Charles Swanton. She obtained her PhD in bioinformatics from Institut Curie (Paris, France) in 2016.
