Jacques Serizay

I am an Assistant Research Professor at CNRS, working at the Institut Pasteur, Dept. Genomes & Genetics, in Paris. My long-term endeavor is to decipher the intricate, multi-modal organization of genomes and its impact on gene regulation, more specifically in microeukaryotes. To achieve this, I develop computational frameworks for analyzing multi-omics and high-dimensional biological data.

Between 2020 and 2025, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Spatial Regulation of Genomes laboratory under Pr. Romain Koszul, focusing on chromatin organization and genome dynamics in microeukaryotes. Before that, I completed my Ph.D. in Genetics with Pr. Julie Ahringer at the University of Cambridge. I obtained my Master’s degree in Genetics from the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan in 2016, and was a visiting researcher in the Plath laboratory at UCLA in 2015.

When not diving deep into genomic data 🧬, I prefer to dive deep 🤿, literally. The sequence in the background is the cDNA of the longest isoform of erbb3b, a gene identified in Amphiprion clarkii ( Nemo's darker cousin, look at it! ) that plays a key role in its pigmentation patterns (see Moore et al., G3 2022 for more).
