Jeremie Poschmann: Data-driven discovery in human diseases through multi-omics profiling of the circulating immune system

Dr. Jeremie Poschmann leads a research group at INSERM and Université de Nantes, where he investigates the human immune system with a focus on the circulating immune compartment. His work combines multi-omics and data-driven approaches to uncover immune mechanisms that influence disease susceptibility and patient outcomes, particularly in infectious and psychiatric conditions. Trained originally as a nurse, Dr. Poschmann entered science driven by a deep curiosity for the unresolved complexities of human biology. His career has taken him through Germany, Belgium, Canada, Singapore, the UK, and France, shaping his collaborative and cross-disciplinary mindset. A self-taught bioinformatician, he values independence in research and actively fosters a diverse and inclusive team. In this Genomic Press Interview, he reflects on pivotal moments in his journey including an early fascination with genome-wide discovery and shares how pre-existing immune states may help explain why individuals respond differently to disease exposure. Outside the lab, he finds balance through surfing and chess, which keeps his thinking sharp. Committed to translating research into real-world impact, Dr. Poschmann is equally passionate about mentoring emerging scientists and building a culture that supports innovation and integrity.
