Our teams: EPOPé

I am Professor in the Department of General Pediatrics and Pediatric Infectious Diseases in Hôpital Necker – Enfants Malades, Paris, France and senior researcher in Clinical epidemiology at Inserm UMR 1153 (CRESS), EPOPé team.

 

My research interests are mainly in the evaluation of medical tests and antibiotic use in children, and I am also interested in research methods and evidence synthesis, with a focus on diagnostic accuracy studies. I am an active member of the Cochrane Collaboration, member of the STARD Group, and Associate Editor at Diagnostic and Prognostic Research.

 

I received clinical training in Pediatrics (residency and fellowship) and Infectious diseases (fellowship) in Paris, France. I hold a PhD in Epidemiology (PhD advisor: Prof M Chalumeau) and spent 2 years as a post-doc in the Department of Clinical epidemiology, Bioinformatics, and Biostatistics of the University of Amsterdam (Head: Prof P Bossuyt).
