Centre of Research in Epidemiology and StatisticS
The general objectives of Research Centre are to:
Develop large epidemiological research, mostly regarding multiple chronic diseases including disability and locomotor apparatus diseases as well as prematurity and childhood cancer
Identify and characterize health determinants in various populations such as pregnant women, infants and children, elderly people, obese persons, disabled persons
Undertake innovative methodological research on the different study phases
Develop methodological research on knowledge dissemination and the implementation of research results
Contribute to the development of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention
Develop synergies between methodology teams and other research teams

Teams
EPOPé
Obstetrical, Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology Research TeamOur research focuses on the health
of women during and

to best fit the clinical setting,
in order to improve responses to
clinical questioning in terms of diagnosis,
treatment or prognosis,
and going beyond traditional approaches.
EREN
Nutritional Epidemiology Research TeamThe objective of the EREN team
is to investigate the relationships
between nutrition and health,
the mechanisms underlying
these relationships and the
determinants of dietary behaviours
ECAMO
Clinical epidemiology applied to rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseasesOur objectives, as described at
the time of our creation, were to identify
new risk factors, consider the role of
co-morbidities in RMDs, develop evaluation
criteria and assess therapeutic strategies in RMDs.
METHODS
Methods of Therapeutic Evaluation of Chronic DiseasesThe objectives of the METHODS team
are to rethink the therapeutic
evaluation of chronic diseases,
propose new concepts and
develop new
methodological approaches.
EARoH
EArly life Research on later HealthOur ultimate aim is to show that ensuring the conditions of a nurturing and healthy early start in life for all has great potential to reach one major goal of the NSH : prioritizing prevention rather than care of chronic diseases.
EPICEA
Epidemiology of childhood and adolescent cancersThe EPICEA team develops
most of its research
on environmental and genetic
risk factors for
childhood cancers.
EpiAgeing
Epidemiology of Ageing & Neurodegenerative diseases (from 2019)Our overarching aim, using
a lifecourse approach, is to identify
the drivers of health at older ages.
Key areas of research are: cognitive decline,
multimorbidity, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
HERA
Health Environmental Risk Assessment (from 2019)The team works in environmental health to assess the impact of environmental exposures, especially air pollution, combining epidemiology applied to general and occupational populations, toxicology and exposure science.
