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).
Following my training in medicine and epidemiology in Paris, Lyon, and Boston, I developed methodological expertise in the analysis of large health databases. As Director of the CONSTANCES Cohort, my research lies at the intersection of public health, health services research, and data science, with a particular focus on large-scale population cohorts and their contribution to evidence-informed public health policy.
I have authored approximately 200 articles in international journals, and my resaerch has been supported by a European Research Council (ERC) grant through the TopSurgeons Project.
