Camille Brechot, BS Clinical Research Coordinator
Camille Brechot, BS, in November 2023 joined the Developing Brain Institute (DBI) as a Clinical Research Coordinator for the Mommy&Me study. Camille graduated magna cum laude from the George Washington (GW) University with a BS in Public Health, with a focus on Women's Health and rights. During her undergraduate career, she managed a two-year project at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, investigating the skin's wound healing mechanisms under different conditions using immunofluorescence staining and microscopy. Camille also coordinated the study's logistics and presented the findings to different audiences at her university.
Additionally, she conducted research at the Milken Institute School of Public Health to determine the best ways to educate Hispanic families in Washington, D.C., about nutritional intake for promoting healthy habits. She is a fluent Spanish speaker and grew up in Colombia and Puerto Rico and decided to join the research project in Milken to help other Spanish-speaking families. Camille’s passion for working directly with people emerged during her two years as a technician at an ophthalmology clinic and as a clinical research assistant at the GW Hospital Emergency Department.
Camille is dedicated to community service and has organized 1,000-plus hours of service events per semester for university members with various non-profits. During her two years as a volunteer tutor, she discovered her passion for working with children and improving their health outcomes. Camille is excited to be a part of DBI.
