Humanitarian Medicine : Working with Doctors Without Borders
We look forward to welcoming Dr. Justine Michel to WashU and engaging in insightful discussions about the critical intersections of global health, microbiology, and humanitarian medicine!
Justine Michel is a microbiology advisor at Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF), currently based in New York. Justine began her career in marine biology research before working as a microbiology laboratory technician at Necker Children's Hospital in Paris for over six years. She joined MSF in 2016 as a microbiology lab manager at the project level, later serving as the microbiology regional referent in the Middle East.
Since 2019, Justine has been overseeing microbiology diagnostic access for MSF projects worldwide, focusing on acute trauma, reconstructive surgery in the Middle East, and pediatric sepsis in West Africa. She collaborates closely with Infection Prevention and Control teams, antimicrobial stewardship experts, and pharmacy colleagues to develop a multidisciplinary approach to antimicrobial resistance in humanitarian contexts.
This event is organized by the French connexions center of excellence (dir. Lionel Cuillé)
and made possible by a grant from the French for Higher Education (FHE).
