Karine Clement, Director or Institute of Cardiometabolisme and Nutrition (ICAN), Team Director at Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM), and Professor of Nutrition at Pierre et Marie Curie University (UPMC), Paris, France. Professor Karine Clément is full professor of Nutrition, Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital at Pierre et Marie Curie university in Paris. She is the director of ICAN Institute de Cardiometabolism and Nutrition, dedicated to innovative Care, Research, and training in the field. KC’s team (NutriOmics, INSERM/UPMC) has been involved in genetic and functional genomics aspects of human obesity.

Her work led to the identification of monogenic forms of obesities and is now exploring the interaction between environmental changes, systemic changes and host biology via the study of tissue cross-talks. She showed notably that inflammatory and remodeling genes in adipose tissue are modulated by weight variation in parallel to immune cell changes. The gut microbiota might be a key actor of this link and deeper insight into mechanisms is undertaken. KC contributed to more than 250 international publications, reviews and many international conferences. She is a member of several national and international scientific committees in obesity and contributed to several European Networks (Diogenes, Hepadip, ADAPT, FLIP). She coordinates the EU-METACARDIS project.
