Florent Ginhoux

Florent Ginhoux is a Researcher at the Université Paris-Saclay, affiliated with Inserm and Gustave Roussy. He directs the Myeloid Cells and Cancer laboratory, focusing on macrophage ontogeny and its implications in tumor immunology.

• Education: Biochemistry at Pierre and Marie Curie University (now Sorbonne University), Advanced Studies Diploma (DEA) at the Pasteur Institute.

His research spans macrophage developmental origins, dendritic cell function, and immuno-organoid technologies. He pioneered the culture of brain immuno-organoids to model pediatric brain cancer and identify macrophage-tumor cell interactions for novel immunotherapies.

His groundbreaking 2010 Science publication on the embryonic origin of tissue macrophages opened new research avenues in immunology and developmental biology. He has been recognized as a leading figure in immunology since 2016 by being named among the world's most cited researchers.

• Scientific Awards:
  • World's Most Cited Researcher (2016–present)

Florent Ginhoux's work integrates cross-disciplinary collaboration, bridging immunology with clinical medicine and industry partnerships. His laboratory develops innovative 2D/3D stem cell-based models to understand macrophage differentiation and function in disease contexts.
