Scientific summary

I am a sociologist dedicated to employing mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) in the study of the engagement modalities of adolescents and young adults affected by cancer in therapeutic education and physical activity. Additionally, I devote myself to exploring citizen expertise and participation in health-related issues, analyzing their coordination with the knowledge of healthcare professionals and researchers involved in these collaborative multidisciplinary collectives.

During my PhD and postdoctoral training, I have gained expertise in collaborative research through various intervention and collaborative research projects (REFLEXISS, EXPERTISS, ALLIANCE, DEBOUT). 

I am also deeply committed to the dissemination and promotion of my research findings to both the scientific community and the general public.
