Pharmacoepidemiology and Infectious Diseases Unit (PhEMI): TEAM

Didier Guillemot
Epidemiologist, MD specializing in Internal Medicine, PhD, HDR. DG is Professor of Public Health and Epidemiology, at the UVSQ Medical School. In 2007, he became Joint Director of the INSERM Department of Public Health Research. He also currently chairs (since 2004) the Advisory Board of the “Surveillance and Research” group of the national “Keep Antibiotics Working” program of the French Ministry of Health. He set up and currently directs the “Pharmacoepidemiology and Infectious Diseases” research groups. His principal research interests lie in the evaluation of broad programs for minimizing escape from anti-infectious treatment and improving our understanding of the biological determinants of such treatment escape.

Biomathematician, MSc (ENSIMAG – Ecole Nationale supérieure en Informatique et Mathématiques Appliquées), PhD. LO joined the group in September 2011. She specializes in the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases and drug resistance and her research focuses primarily on the development of mathematical models for epidemiological studies, of the phenomenon of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and vaccines in particular. Since July 2009, she has worked as a research associate at Imperial College London, in the Department of Infectious Disease Modelling, developing models and methods for estimating the transmission parameters for various pathogens (influenza, measles). She was involved in the Vaccine Modeling Initiative funded by the Gates foundation, which involved collaboration between the modeling groups at Imperial College London (UK) and Princeton University (USA). She recently obtained a tenured assistant professor position at the University of Versailles Saint Quentin.

 

PhD, HDR. AO joined the group in March 2010, after working in the Centre de Recherches historiques de l’Institut Pasteur (2003–2009), principally on the history of infectious and parasitic diseases and medical entomology. She carries out research in the fields of policy-making in public health, acceptance of and resistance to vaccination in society and among healthcare workers (hepatitis B and measles mumps rubella vaccines) and student populations (human papilloma virus).

 

Epidemiologist, MD, PhD. JS was Senior Advisor for Public Health under B Kouchner (1999–2001). JS joined the group as a research fellow INSERM interface contract in 2008. He is the Principal Investigator of the ASAR program and is involved in the ChARLI program.

 

 

Statistician and epidemiologist, MPH, PhD, HDR. LW joined the group in September 2008. Her work focuses on the choice of statistical methods for analyzing correlated data and methodological developments for time-series analysis. Her principal field of research is the public-health impact of changes in exposure to antimicrobial drugs.
