• Education: MD, MSc in Epidemiology, and a PhD in Epidemiology (Fellow).
• Roles: Medical epidemiologist with over four years of fieldwork and clinical research experience.

Research Interests

ACCROMBESSI's research emphasizes malaria epidemiology, clinical epidemiology, and public health interventions. He specializes in studying cohorts of pregnant women and children, particularly in malaria-endemic regions. His expertise includes data analysis, biostatistics, and Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

His doctoral thesis, titled "Occurrence of malaria during pregnancy and intrauterine growth retardation in Africa," was supervised by Dr. Michel COT and Dr. Valérie BRIAND. This work contributes to understanding how malaria during gestation affects fetal growth.
