Florence Canoui-Poitrine

Florence Canoui-Poitrine is a Professor and Team Leader at the Mondor Biomedical Research Institute (IMRB), Université Paris Est Créteil Val de Marne. She leads the Clinical Epidemiology and Aging team focusing on geriatrics, public health, and aging-related research. Her work integrates clinical epidemiology with translational studies to address health challenges in elderly populations.

Her research emphasizes frailty assessment, multidimensional health problems in older adults, and healthcare-associated risks. Notable projects include the SUCCEED and SAGE cohort studies, examining frailty profiles and inclusion of older cancer patients in clinical trials.

Publications highlight methodological innovations like latent class analysis and structural equation modeling, advancing understanding of COPD systemic effects and VTE prophylaxis in geriatric settings. She collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across epidemiology, geriatrics, and oncology.

Her team includes 13 active researchers and students addressing aging-related issues through both observational and interventional studies. Key facilities at IMRB support her work in bioinformatics, genomics, and imaging.
