Audrey Mirand

Audrey Mirand is a researcher at the Centre National de Référence Entérovirus et Parechovirus affiliated with CHU Clermont-Ferrand and the Laboratoire Microorganismes: Génome et Environnement at Université Clermont Auvergne. She serves as a key specialist in virology within the Faculty of Medicine and Paramedical Professions, focusing on enterovirus surveillance and outbreak investigation across multiple geographic regions.

Her research interests center around virology, particularly enteroviruses, viral surveillance systems, infectious disease outbreaks, and molecular epidemiology. Dr. Mirand's work has significantly contributed to understanding viral transmission patterns, genomic characterization of emerging strains, and the clinical implications of viral infections. Her expertise spans both laboratory-based virological analysis and field epidemiology during outbreak situations.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on enterovirus dynamics, particularly coxsackieviruses and enterovirus A71. Her research demonstrates expertise in viral genome sequencing, outbreak investigation methodologies, and the relationship between viral genetics and clinical manifestations. The geographic scope of her work extends across Europe, the Indian Ocean region (particularly Mayotte and Madagascar), and collaborative international networks.

Dr. Mirand actively participates in national reference laboratory activities through the Centre National de Référence Entérovirus et Parechovirus, contributing to France's public health surveillance infrastructure for enteroviruses. Her work involves collaboration with multiple institutions including the Institut Pasteur network, hospitals across France, and international partners in the Indian Ocean region.
