I am a research director in epidemiology in the EARoH team with a background in biostatistics and an established line of research on early development and health in both longitudinal and population studies. Since my PhD when I investigated determinants of childhood obesity, I have been more and more interested by very early determinants of obesity, and more generally of early growth and development. I also acquired experience in genetic epidemiology during a 1-year post doc fellowship in the MRC Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge (UK), working in various studies like the ALSPAC or the EPIC studies. I am now leading my research program on the familial determinants of pregnancy outcomes and offspring health thanks to the data collected in the EDEN (link1) Mother-child cohort, that I’ve been coordinating since 2010. Also very interested in infancy and childhood growth, I have been coordinating the “physical growth and puberty” working group of the Elfe mother-child cohort study that started in 2011. I have developed a research program on growth modelling and growth-monitoring and generated in 2018 the new French growth chart references. I am involved in many European projects, and especially international consortia gathering European birth cohorts.
