Barthoulot Maël, Dr.

I am a medical doctor trained in public health and epidemiology, with a background spanning population-based epidemiological research, clinical research, and methodological support. I initially worked on large population registries in the general population and disease-specific contexts (including MONICA for cardio-vascular disease or EPIMAD for inflammatory bowel diseases).

I subsequently transitioned toward clinical research, first in oncology and later more broadly within the Clinical Research Center and the Methodological Support Unit at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), where I provide methodological and statistical support across a wide range of clinical domains, from protocol development to analysis and reporting.

In parallel, I have been involved in meta-research projects, with a particular interest in equity and research practices. I am involved in the ATHENA 2 project, which examines gender bias in the scientific publication process, and in the SPIRIT project, which focuses on the implementation and evaluation of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Switzerland. My research interests lie at the intersection of epidemiology, clinical research methodology, and equity in scientific production.
