Research unit

Description

The Centre de Recherche en Epidémiologie et Santé des Populations (CESP) is one of the most important French research and training centres for public health research. It has 15 research teams working on major health issues, including psychiatry, cancer, chronic diseases and primary care. His research is primarily epidemiological, with a strong integrative perspective combining the most fundamental biological aspects (genomics) with the most concrete environmental aspects (social inequalities, culture) Our work is intended to be applicable in the short to medium term, whether for prevention, care or the organization of health systems. To this end, we work closely with many social actors (NGOs, ministries and public institutions, private companies) and have an extensive network of relationships with prestigious institutes located on most continents. CESP operates under the supervision of INSERM, the University of Paris-Sud and the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin and in close partnership with the AP-HP and Gustave Roussy.
