Principal on-going projects
SHIPS - Screening for Health for very Preterm Infants in Europe - project (principal investigator). Follows the EPICE cohort of very preterm infants (see project below) until 5 years of age in order to evaluate follow-up services provided to this high risk population. Financed by the EU Horizon 2020 programme (www.epiceproject.eu).
EPICE - Effective perinatal intensive care in Europe - project (principal investigator). Investigates use of evidence based practices in a population-based cohort of very preterm infants in 19 European regions; financed by the EU FP7 programme (www.epiceproject.eu).
RECAP Preterm- Research on European Children and Adults born Preterm - (Co-investigator, Member of Project Management Office) project to develop a platform of European very preterm and low birthweight cohorts to promote research and generate new knowledge on the consequence of very preterm birth. Financed by the EU Horizon 2020 Programme (recap-preterm.eu).
Euro-Peristat - Better Statistics for Better Health for Mothers and their Babies (principal investigator). An EU initiative to develop maternal and infant health indicators for monitoring health on the national and European levels; Euro-Peristat participates in the InfAct Joint Action financed by the EU Public Health Programme (www.europeristat.com)
Contribution of hospital quality to disparities in infant and maternal outcomes in New York City hospitals. Two projects (co-investigator) financed by the NIH with Dr. Elizabeth Howell (PI), Department of Population Health Science and Policy, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York

Scientific summary
My research focuses on assessing the impact of the organization of care on the health and development of babies born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestational age) in France and other European countries and on the effects of the restructuring of obstetric and pediatric health services on access to care for pregnant women and newborns. I also lead a project to develop perinatal health surveillance for the evaluation of health systems and policy in Europe. My third research interest is the management and consequences of fetal growth restriction for preterm and term births.
