She received her PhD in Food Science from the University of Burgundy. She has been studying children’s eating behaviour for the past 15 years, looking at the role of food-related inputs (sensory properties, energy density) in the development and evolution of infants and children’s liking and food intake, using experimental and epidemiological approaches. She is in particular interested in understanding the impact of early eating experiences on later behaviour. She participated in the EU-funded HabEat project, coordinates the OPALINE birth cohort (Observatory of food preferences in infants and children), and participates in the « feeding » group of the ELFE birth cohort (French Longitudinal Study since infancy), where she leads the analysis of complementary feeding data.

His research concentrated also on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with critical approach to therapy. His clinical experience with rare diseases brought to scientific contribution in research on Wilson disease and newly described PGM-1 as a defect of glycosylation. Most of the recent research work was devoted to obesity prevention and therapy and feeding disorders became one of the major clinical interests.
