Mathilde Paul – DVM, MsC, PhD

Professor in Epidemiology and Avian Population Medicine. Her key research interests focus on how farmers’ behaviours and anthropogenic factors can shape the spatio-temporal distribution of infectious diseases such as avian influenza. For doing her research, Mathilde uses a wide range of epidemiological tools including spatial statistics. She maintains strong connections with the field as she most often uses observational studies to analyse farming practices. She enjoys collaborating with social scientists and has been involved in several transdisciplinary projects. Mathilde currently contributes to a large project funded by the French Ministry of Agriculture (1.2 M€) to improve biosecurity compliance on poultry farms. She is leading two transdisciplinary projects investigating the use of antimicrobials in the French poultry sector and keeps collaborating on several projects in Southern countries.
