Scientific summary
I am an epidemiologist and public health researcher, working at the research team on early life origins of health (EAROH), CRESS (INSERM, UMR 1153). My research is driven by the social inequalities in health, with a focus on early growth and obesity. I am interested in how energy balance-related behaviours, i.e. diet, sedentary behaviours (especially excessive screen time) and physical activity, mediate such inequalities, through both observational and intervention approaches. In particular, I draw on the EDEN mother-child cohort [link 1], the Elfe birth cohort [link 2] and the ENFAMS study, carried out among families experiencing homelessness [link 3]. In addition, I am engaged in the scale-up evaluation of the evidence-based INFANT Program in Australia [link 4] and principal investigator of the ECAIL trial, currently implemented among socially disadvantaged families (NCT03003117, [link 5]).
