Dr. Jean-Marc Collard is senior scientist with extensive experience in bacteriology, molecular biology and public health. After having directed 4 National Reference Centers in Belgium, he extended his expertise in Africa, where he coordinated important field and research projects in bacteriology (MenAfriCar, PAGE), antimicrobial resistance (CHARLI, BirdyI & II), on the microbiota in malnourished children (Afribiota, Malinea), including cohort studies with over 2000 children. The results of these projects were published in landmark scientific reviews such as Lancet Global Health, J Allergy Clin Immunol, CID, PNAS. As an expert in bacteriology, he collaborated with the WHO, the UNICEF, the Ministry of Health in Niger, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Expertise France, the Wellcome Trust, and the Gates Foundation. During his two years at Institut Pasteur of Shanghai, he focused on the construction of the intestinal microbiota in infants. Since September 2022, he integrated the Enteric Bacterial Pathogens Unit, at the Institut Pasteur.
