Curriculum

Before strating studies in public health field I worked as an emergency doctor. After a first Master 2 in Public Health and Environmental Risks, and a second one in  genetic  epidemiology, I am currently pursuing a PhD in public health at Paris-Sud university.

Research

The subject of my PhD thesis is the genetic susceptibility to thyroid cancer after irradiation in childhood. This subject is composed of two main axes: Genetic interaction with therapeutic irradiation and with environmental irradiation. However, the effect of very low doses such as those received during diagnostic tests will also be studied.
