Trained in Geneva and the Netherlands, Camille Nemitz-Piguet is a psychiatrist and systemic psychotherapist. She also holds a PhD in neuroscience from UNIGE focusing on mood disorders. She currently heads a research group within the Department of Psychiatry at the UNIGE Faculty of Medicine and also works as a psychiatrist at the HUG, in the Outpatient Health Consultation Service for Adolescents and Young Adults and the Young Adult Psychiatry Unit.

As a member of the Synapsy Centre for Neuroscience and Mental Health Research at the Faculty of Medicine, her research focuses primarily on the brain bases underlying emotional regulation processes in young people, a field in which she aims to develop early non-pharmacological intervention techniques to improve their mental health, in particular using mindfulness. Using different functional MRI approaches, Camille Nemitz-Piguet seeks to combine information obtained on the functioning of brain networks with biological information, in the hope that a multimodal signature will enable the personalisation of early intervention targets. A private lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine in 2021, she was appointed assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry in February 2025.
