Our teams: EpiAgeing

I am a medical doctor specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation and currently work as an assistant professor at Lariboisière-Fernand Widal Hospital (AP-HP). I obtained my Ph.D. in epidemiology at Marburg University in Germany in 2016. Between 2018 and 2022, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu in Barcelona, Spain. My research interest is related to the epidemiology of ageing and the epidemiology of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.
