I am a CNRS Research Director and head of the Ecology & Evolution of Health (EEH) team within the CIRB at the Collège de France in Paris.
I use ecology & evolution concepts and tools, especially modelling, to tackle health-related questions. I am interested in the interactions between humans and microbes, especially the vaginal microbiota and viruses such as papillomaviruses (HPVs), HIV, or SARS-Cov-2.| 2013 | Habilitation (HDR, Université Montpellier 2) |
