CESP, Research Center in Epidemiology and Population Health,
is a research center interested in most major health issues, including psychiatry, cancer, chronic disease, and primary care.
Our research is primarily epidemiological,with a strong integrative perspective associating the most fundamental biological aspects (genomics) with the most concrete environmental aspects (social inequalities, culture).
Our work is intended to be applicable in the short or medium term, whether for prevention, care, or the organization of health systems. To this end, we have close collaborations with many actors in society (NGOs, ministries and public institutions)
CESP operates under the auspices of INSERM, the University Paris-Saclay, and the University Versailles Saint-Quentin.
