Nous sommes heureux d’annoncer notre 1ère conférence internationale « Le concept d’une seule santé à la confluence de la santé publique humaine et vétérinaire » qui se tiendra à Lyon au Musée des Confluences du 26 au 28 janvier 2022.
À l’occasion de la 15e journée mondiale contre la rage qui se tient tous les ans le 28 septembre, Dr Guillaume Convert, directeur technique rage au sein du VPH Center (Santé Publique Vétérinaire) chez Boehringer Ingelheim, nous explique comment la mise en œuvre d’une stratégie One Health concrète sur le terrain, pourrait permettre d’enrayer la rage et de restaurer le lien entre l’Homme et le chien.
Pour le 2e numéro de notre série « Regard d’expert » nous avons rencontré Christophe Dufour, Directeur scientifique de Mérieux NutriSciences en France, à l’occasion de la journée internationale de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments qui s’est tenue le 7 juin.
Dans cet entretien, il nous offre un panorama de la Food Safety et nous parle de ses liens avec la santé animale, ainsi que des enjeux posés par de nouveaux risques émergents.

Décryptage : quels enseignements tirer de la récente épidémie de rhinopneumonie équine ?
Le Dr Vet Xavier Peyrecave, praticien hospitalier en médecine interne équine à la Clinéquine au sein de VetAgro Sup – partenaire fondateur du HUB VPH – revient sur l’épidémie de rhinopneumonie équine qui a touché l’Europe en mars dernier.
Dans le podcast #VetAgroLive réalisé par notre partenaire VetAgro Sup, Thibaud Porphyre présente la nouvelle Chaire industrielle d’enseignement et de recherche en santé publique vétérinaire, labellisée Idex, dont il est le titulaire.
Cette Chaire a récemment été créée par l’Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 et VetAgro Sup, en partenariat avec Boehringer Ingelheim, le CNRS et l’Université de Lyon, dans le cadre de notre HUB VPH.
Job environment
The successful candidate will be recruited by the Biometry and Evolutionary Biology Laboratory (LBBE; https://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/) under the supervision of CNRS, UCBL and VetAgro Sup. Built around three pillars consisting of biometry (understood as the set of informatic, statistical and mathematical formalisation tools of biological problems), evolutionary biology and health, this laboratory offers an ideal environment for the development of interdisciplinary projects at the methodology/biology interface in eco-infectiology. The laboratory is also co-holder of the Labex Ecofect.
The candidate will work in the newly created Veterinary Public Health Team within the Department of Evolutionary Ecology, one of the unit’s four departments. As such, he/she will be able to rely on the expertise in wildlife ecology, epidemiology, risk assessment and questionnaire design available in the unit as those available at partners institutions in France and Great Britain.
Duration and start date
3 years from the starting date
Expected start date: April/May 2021
Application criteria
Masters in Veterinary Sciences/Biology/Statistics/Epidemiology/Social sciences or related degree
Knowledge on questionnaire design and analysis would be appreciated but not mandatory.
Good quantitative abilities would be appreciated but not mandatory.
Ability to write and speak English to a high standard.
Must be comfortable and motivated to work in a predominantly French-speaking environment.
Funding body
VetAgro Sup and Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University
