Dr. Camilla Pang is a renowned British computational biologist, author, and mental health speaker who advocates for neurodiversity and inclusivity. With her lived experience of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), she brings a unique and invaluable perspective to discussions around mental health, science, and human behaviour. As a speaker, Camilla connects with audiences by blending personal experiences with scientific insights, making complex topics accessible and relatable. Her approach helps to challenge stereotypes and foster a more inclusive understanding of neurodivergent individuals.
Dr. Camilla’s journey to becoming a leading voice in mental health and science began with her academic path. After completing a BSc in Biochemistry at the University of Bristol, she earned a PhD in Computational Biology from University College London (UCL). Her research focused on disease-causing mutations and their impact on protein function. Camilla’s early career was marked by her work as a postdoctoral scientist, specialising in translational bioinformatics and contributing to advancements in immunology and neurology. Despite facing challenges linked to her neurodivergence, her scientific career laid the groundwork for her later work as a speaker and advocate.
In recent years, Camilla has become widely recognised for her achievements in both science and mental health advocacy. Her debut book, ‘Explaining Humans: What Science Can Teach Us about Life, Love and Relationships’, won the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize, making her the youngest-ever recipient of the award. She is also the author of ‘Perfectly Weird, Perfectly You’, a guide to growing up aimed at young readers. Camilla’s work continues to bridge the gap between science and mental health, earning her a respected place in the public conversation on neurodiversity and human behaviour.
Camilla is frequently hired as a mental health speaker because of her ability to inspire, educate, and challenge societal perceptions. Her scientific expertise, combined with her personal journey and advocacy for neurodiversity, provides audiences with powerful insights into the lived experience of neurodivergent individuals. Her engaging approach fosters a greater understanding of mental health, making her an influential voice in both the scientific and mental health communities.
“Camilla Pang is an exceptional speaker who has delivered compelling presentations for New Scientist, both virtually and in person.
