I am an Associate Professor in the Immunology and Infectious Diseases Department at the Hotel-Dieu Hospital, University of Paris Cité and a member of the METHODS team of CRESS-UMR1153.
As a physician involved since the beginning of the HIV pandemic, I have always combined my clinical activity with clinical research in the field of HIV infection and its complications. I was involved in several clinical trials from phase I to IV as well as observational studies and cohorts.
I have worked as an associate Professor at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois with the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), which is an ongoing prospective study of HIV-1 infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) at four centers in the United States: Chicago, Baltimore/Washington DC, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. I also became a member of the Metabolic Working group, MWCCS, NIH, Bethesda, Washington.
I am also in the editorial board for AIDS
