I am a pharmacist and epidemiologist by training. I enjoy investigating the links between “nutrient-unrelated” aspects of the diet (meal timing and circadian rhythms, food processing, additives…) and chronic diseases, in particular some cancers and metabolic health. I also lead the NACRe network, a French (very soon becoming European) network on nutrition and cancer research (my favourite topic), and coordinate actions on research networking, healthcare professionals training, and scientific communication. When I am not working, you will definitely find me cooking, playing in amateur/semi-professional theatre plays, watching series, or jogging (since very recently).
Research interests
- Meal timing and cancer
- Food processing and health
- Molecular epidemiology of diseases
