I am a respiratory physician and allergist, Professor of Pulmonology and Head of Department at the University Hospital of Montpellier. I am currently the director of the INSERM research unit IDESP which I built up focusing on epidemiology and public health of chronic non communicable diseases, massive health and environmental data, and modern mathematics.
I am president of the French Allergy Society (2010-2012 and 2022-2024) and current (2019-2023) chair of the French National Council for Allergology. In addition, I am a member of several national and international editorial boards of allergy journals and a full member of the French National Academy of Medicine.
In the last years my research interest has focused mainly on allergy (rhinitis, asthma diagnosis and treatment, allergen immunotherapy, anaphylaxis and drug allergy) where I have extensive experience of lecturing.
I have published more than 900 articles including more than 600 in international peer-reviewed journals (H factor over 100 and citations over 60000, 2018 and 2021 Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher, category immunology) and I am co-chair of the WHO Collaborating Center on Scientific Classification Support at the University Hospital of Montpellier.
