Valérie Bouchez is a researcher at the Pasteur Institute in the department of Biodiversity and Epidemiology of Pathogenic Bacteria, focusing on Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough) and related pathogens. Her work explores microbial factors, host immunity, and genomic epidemiology to understand disease severity and evolution.
- Affiliation: Pasteur Institute, Paris, France
Current research includes:
- Genomic epidemiology of Bordetella species
- Vaccine-induced strain evolution
- Development of long-read sequencing for pathogen genotyping
- Investigating fimbriae-mediated pathogenesis
Publications highlight collaborations with international teams on topics spanning France-specific resurgence of pertussis, macrolide resistance, and global spatial dynamics of Bordetella strains. Her recent projects include PER-SEVERE (defining microbial and host contributions to pertussis severity) and Oxford Nanopore sequencing applications for pathogen surveillance.
