Our teams: METHODS
I am a Professor of Public Health, and a member of the METHODS team at the Center for Research in Epidemiology and Statistics (CRESS).
After completing my training in medicine and epidemiology in Paris, Lyon, and Boston, I developed methodological expertise in analyzing large databases. My research has focused on the human and organizational factors that influence healthcare professionals' ability to deliver safe, high-quality patient care. As Deputy Director of the CONSTANCES Cohort, I lead large-scale epidemiological studies to inform public health policies.
I have authored over 150 articles in international journals, and my work has been supported by a European Research Council grant (TopSurgeons Project).
