Session 1: Explaining health inequalities in economics and sociology
Discussion: Cyrille Delpierre (Inserm)
Cyrille Delpierre is an epidemiologist and Inserm research director. Since 2021, he has headed the Centre d'Épidémiologie et de Recherche en santé des POPulations (CERPOP), a joint Inserm-University of Toulouse IIIresearch unit, and is co-leader of the EQUITY team dedicated to the study of social inequalities in health (SII). Her research focuses on the mechanisms by which the social environment is biologically incorporated, how it can affect biological functioning and thus promote the development and progression of disease. His work has two general objectives : i) to explain SSIs not only in terms of physico-chemical exposures, health behaviours and care provided by the socially distributed health care system, but also in terms of psychosocial exposures likely to modify biological processes and promote the development of pathologies at a distance ; ii) to develop or participate in interventions likely to reduce SSIs.
