Juliette Froger-Lefebvre is a post-doctoral researcher in the sociology of health at the CNRS and a member of Siric Curamus. As part of her dissertation in political science, she studied the institutionalisation of discussion groups for people suffering from eating disorders and their mobilisation to gain recognition for their experiential knowledge. Still working on patient care and their involvement in groups, she is exploring how health inequalities are changing and becoming more complex as access to genomic medicine in oncology opens up.
As part of a multi-disciplinary research project entitled 'The gender of oncoprophylaxis' (GOPxie), conducted jointly with an oncogenetics team, she is examining the inequalities in treatment between men and women with genetic predispositions for the prevention of so-called gendered cancers. More specifically, this involves questioning the different recommendations concerning the prescription of prophylactic surgery.
Lastly, as part of the TraGeninnov research project, she is taking part in the section dealing with the impact of new genomic prescription methods and the information and understanding needed to influence patients' disease trajectories.
