I am the leader of the HERA team (CRESS) and one of the French pioneers in environmental health risk assessment, dedicating my research to this topic since 2002:
- by implementing with my team a birth cohort (PARIS Cohort) and its follow-up in order to study respiratory/allergic and cardiometabolic morbidity in childhood and its environmental risk factors, - by conducting studies aiming at assessing air pollution exposures by measurements and modelling, - by extending this epidemiologic research on health impact of air pollution to occupational population (taxi-drivers). I have had national expertise responsibilities since 1997 (Presidency of different Councils and inter-ministerial missions of public health and environmental health) such as Presidency of the Scientific Council of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (ANSES, 2016 - 2023, https://anses.fr/en), Presidency of the Scientific Council of the National Air Quality Observatory (OQAI, since 2016, https://www.oqai.fr/)), Vice-presidency of the National Council for air (CNA, since 2014, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conseil_national_de_l%27air)). |
