Contrôler une épidémie de maladies infectieuses émergentes (FUN)

Ce MOOC est destiné à former les participants, à partir d’une étude de cas, à la surveillance des maladies infectieuses émergentes, mais aussi à la prévention et au contrôle des épidémies. Les maladies infectieuses émergentes nécessitent une approche interdisciplinaire mobilisant l’épidémiologie et les biomathématiques, la virologie, l’immunologie, la santé publique humaine et animale, l’entomologie, la recherche clinique sur les maladies infectieuses, la sociologie, la médecine, les sciences politiques et de communication sur le risque, et des éléments d’économie de la santé.

A chaque fois que possible, il sera montré comment chaque discipline a pu contribuer pour sa part à la construction d’une expertise commune contribuant à la recherche de solutions face à une épidémie de maladie infectieuse émergente. La synergie, les relations, l’interdépendance entre les disciplines seront aussi soulignées. Notre approche sera pragmatique et retracera l’étude d’une épidémie de Chikungunya, une maladie transmise par un moustique Aedes albopictus survenue dans l’Océan Indien en 2006. Seront présentés et analysés : les outils de surveillance, les méthodes d’alerte et de détection précoce, les études visant à identifier les facteurs de risque et de déclenchement de l’épidémie, les scénarios pour la prévention, les études séro-épidémiologiques mises en place, la communication sur le risque en période de crise, et la perception du risque par la population et ses comportements.

Diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers in global health (FUN)

Biomarkers are the subject of considerable interest by scientists and researchers worldwide: they determine the use of targeted treatments (a major therapeutic advance in medicine), allow to measure the evolution of a disease or to indicate a particular physiological event. The aim of this MOOC is to review the interest of biomarkers for public health, based in particular on the research activities of the thirty-three institutes of the Institut Pasteur international network.

Design and Interpretation of Clinical Trials (Coursera)

Clinical trials are experiments designed to evaluate new interventions to prevent or treat disease in humans. The interventions evaluated can be drugs, devices (e.g., hearing aid), surgeries, behavioral interventions (e.g., smoking cessation program), community health programs (e.g. cancer screening programs) or health delivery systems (e.g., special care units for hospital admissions). We consider clinical trials experiments because the investigators rather the patients or their doctors select the treatment the patients receive.
