Dr Clarisse Ganier

Dr Clarisse Ganier obtained a master’s degree in Genetics in 2015 from the University of Paris, France and from La Sapienza University in Italy. During this training, she had the opportunity to do two long internships (3 to 5 months) in different international institutes (University of Cambridge, Cambridge UK and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, USA). Then, she was awarded a 3-year PhD fellowship from the French Ministry of Education, Sciences and Technologies.

Her PhD work aimed at investigating the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells in murine models for a rare genetic skin disease named recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. In November 2018, she obtained her PhD in Human Genetics.

Clarisse joined King’s College London as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine two years ago. She joined the lab of Professor Fiona Watt and Dr Magnus Lynch. Her project is part of the Human Cell Atlas consortium. This project aims to highlight the differences in the skin among different anatomical sites in healthy and skin disease conditions.
