IPC welcomed a new member: Blandine Rammaert

Blandine Rammaert was appointed Head of the Clinical Research Group in Epidemiology & Public Health at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge.


She completed her clinical fellowship at Necker–Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris, within the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Unit, where she specialized in the management of infectious diseases in immunocompromised patients.

She was deeply involved in fundamental, experimental, and clinical research. She obtained a PhD in microbiology at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, within the Molecular Mycology Unit, where her research focused on the pathophysiology of invasive fungal diseases, with a strong emphasis on immunological mechanisms and in vivo models. After joining Poitiers, she continued her research activities at INSERM U1070, a unit specialized in the pharmacology of anti-infective therapies.


In parallel, she developed and led extensive clinical research programs addressing vaccination strategies in immunocompromised patients, infectious complications in asplenic and cancer patients, invasive fungal diseases, and respiratory infections, and served as principal investigator in several phase II and III clinical trials.

She was also actively engaged in international public health and training, teaching for several years during missions for the National Tuberculosis Program in Lao PDR. She spent one year at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge contributing to the SISEA regional respiratory infection surveillance project and later served as Head of the Infectiology and Public Health Unit at the Institut Pasteur du Laos, where she designed tuberculosis and One Health programs.
