Benoit Arcangioli

Benoit Arcangioli is a Researcher and Principal Investigator at the Institut Pasteur, affiliated with the Genomes and Genetics Department and the Genome Dynamics unit in Paris, France. He leads research projects on genome stability in quiescence and DNA methylation, using fission yeast as a model organism.

Research Interests: His work focuses on understanding how DNA damage is repaired and how mutations arise in non-dividing (quiescent) cells, a state relevant to aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. He investigates epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and heterochromatin regulation, particularly in the context of cellular quiescence and genome dynamics.

Publication Trends: His recent publications (2017–2023) reveal a strong focus on genome stability, mutagenesis in quiescent cells, epigenetic regulation, and DNA repair mechanisms in fission yeast. His research bridges molecular biology, genetics, and evolutionary biology, with implications for human aging and disease.

Advising and Grants: Dr. Arcangioli has mentored several PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, including Célia Raimondi, Samia Miled, Rostyslav Makarenko, and Balveer Singh. He leads funded research projects such as 'Genome stability in quiescence' and 'Dynamics and biological function of deoxycytosine methylation' at the Institut Pasteur.

Labs and Teams: He is part of the Genome Dynamics team within the Genomes and Genetics Department at the Institut Pasteur. His laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms of quiescence, DNA repair, and epigenetic inheritance using *Schizosaccharomyces pombe* as a model system.
