Our teams: ECAMO
I am a physician, specialist in rheumatology, at Cochin Hospital, APHP, and senior researcher in epidemiology in the ECAMO team at the CRESS.
My research focuses on the epidemiology of inflammatory rheumatic disorders, mainly spondyloarthropathies. I explore the therapeutic strategies using randomized controlled trials for treat-to-target strategies, impact of nurses in patient’s care, and role of patients’ sel-assessment of inflammation. I am also interested in pregnancy in inflammatory rheumatic and anti-immune disorders.
Research interests
- Assessment of therapeutic strategies
- Longitudinal data analyses
- Pregnancy in rheumatic disorders
