I am a clinical pathologist and a professor at the Pasteur Institute. For the last 12 years, I have been heading the Enteric Bacterial Pathogens Unit. From 2014 to 2016, I did a sabbatical at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK. My research interests are the population structure and transmission dynamics of emerging, epidemic, and antimicrobial drug resistant bacterial pathogens, as well as molecular and genomic epidemiology, and the development of diagnostic tools.
