I am a computational biologist specialised in pathgen genomics and the molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases. My research activity focuses on the reconstruction of pathogen transmission for surveillance or in outbreak situations.
After graduating at the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France, I moved to the United Kingdom to complete a Masters in Medical Molecular Microbiology at the University of Nottingham. This was followed by a PhD in the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 at University College London. After completing postdoctoral positions at the University of Oxford and University College London, I have joined LSHTM in 2014, where I am currently holding an associate professor position.

Teaching
I have been teaching viral evolution, molecular epidemiology and phylogenetics to undergraduate and postgraduate students since 2008.
At LSHTM, I am teaching a range of lectures and practical sessions for the MSc Epidemiology (Introduction to Molecular Epidemiology, Introduction of Omics in Epidemiology, Omics Applications to Communicable Diseases, Genomics in the age of COVID-19, Molecular Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases, Introduction to Phylogenetics), for the MSc Health Data Science (Genetic Variation, Pathogen Genomics, Disease Outbreak Studies), for the MSc Medical Microbiology (HIV Drug Resistance, Molecular Epidemiology of Viruses) and for the short course 'Introduction to the Modelling of Infectious diseases' (Introduction to Phylodynamics).
I am the co-organiser of the MSc modules 'Epidemiology and Omics' (2484) and 'Genomic Health Data' (2492).

Research
I primarily study pathogen transmission through the joint analysis of epidemiological and gene sequence data. My work involves the implementation of statistical models in phylogenetic studies, particularly in the context of reconstructing time and spatial trends of viral transmissions.
While my research activity was primarily oriented towards the study of HIV-1, I am applying my skills to a range of other viruses and bacteria, including Dengue virus, Hepatitis Delta Virus, SARS-CoV-2 and Streptococcus pneumonia.
