Céline Vallot, PhD

Céline Vallot is the head of the Dynamics of Epigenetic Plasticity group at Institut Curie (UMR3244/Translational Department). She joined the Translational Department of IC as a junior group leader in 2017 and is an expert in multi-omics data analysis and epigenetic regulation. She got awarded an ATIP-Avenir grant in 2017, the Bronze Medal of the CNRS in 2018, and the Prix Olga Sain in 2019. Her lab investigates the dynamics of acquisition of chromatin features in cancer cells in vivo and in vitro combining cancer biology to single-cell microfluidics and data mining. Her group has recently co-developed means to analyze the epigenome of cancer cells at single-cell resolution and revealed the heterogeneity of chromatin states within breast tumors. With her group, she has created a series of tools for single-cell data analysis. She has co-founded the single-cell facility of the IC. Céline also holds a MS from Ecole Polytechnique, Paris.
