Guillaume Jacquemet studied biology at the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France, before joining the lab of Martin Humphries at the University of Manchester in 2008 as part of a Wellcome-funded four-year PhD studentship. There, he studied cell–matrix interactions and the integrin-mediated regulation of small GTPases. In 2014, Guillaume moved to Turku, Finland for his postdoc with Johanna Ivaska to work on the role of filopodia in cell migration and cancer cell invasion. He set up his own research group, the Cell Migration Lab, at Åbo Akademi University, Turku, in 2019, where in addition to investigating the molecular mechanisms of cancer metastasis and cell migration, he also develops deep-learning-based image analysis tools.
