Camille Lassale

Camille Lassale is an Assistant Research Professor at ISGlobal (Barcelona Institute for Global Health), where she leads research in nutritional epidemiology, epigenetics, and cardiovascular health. She joined ISGlobal in September 2022, building on prior work at IMIM, Imperial College London, and University College London.

Education:

• Life Sciences Engineering, specialized in Human Nutrition, AgroParisTech, Paris (2009)
• MSc in Public Health, University Paris-Sud (2010)
• PhD, University Sorbonne Paris

Her research focuses on the role of diet in chronic disease prevention, particularly in cardiovascular and mental health. She investigates how dietary patterns influence metabolic health, ageing-related morbidities, and epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation. Her work integrates chrono-nutrition and circadian biology, aiming to understand timing of food intake as a modulator of health outcomes. She also contributes to nutritional psychiatry, examining links between diet quality and depression risk.

Her recent publications reveal a strong trend in large-scale epidemiological analyses, combining dietary assessment with biomarker and omics data. She frequently employs meta-analytic and prospective cohort methodologies to assess long-term health impacts of nutrition across European populations.

Scientific Awards:

• La Caixa Junior Leader Retaining Fellowship (2021)

She has not advised any named students in the provided text, but her independent fellowship and research line suggest active mentoring and grant leadership. Her work is supported by competitive research funding, notably the La Caixa Foundation, and she contributes to interdisciplinary collaborations across Spain and the UK.

She co-leads a nutritional-omics research line at ISGlobal, integrating molecular epidemiology with public health nutrition to develop precision dietary recommendations.
