The aim is to promote veterinary public health by creating interdisciplinary training programs for a wide range of international audiences, and by conducting research at the Laboratory of Biometry and Evolutionary Biology¹ (Laboratoire de Biométrie et de Biologie Evolutive). This involves establishing projects that combine eco-epidemiological and socio-economic issues in order to develop animal health care strategies and decision support tools for public and industrial authorities.
The SPV Chair relies on a well-developed academic and industrial experience in infectiology and vaccinology, as well as on structuring the regional ecosystem based on the “One Health” concept, with surveillance and research networks for animal health and for learning activities, which are based on VetAgro Sup’s ENSV-FVI² for establishing an international Master’s degree in veterinary public health.
The aim of the SPV Chair is to strengthen Lyon’s position as a major international player in veterinary public health research and, in particular, in the training of decision-makers.

Thibaud Porphyre
The Chair holder, Thibaud Porphyre, is a quantitative epidemiologist with a PhD in Epidemiology from the Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences of Massey University (New Zealand).
His most recent position was at the University of Edinburgh, where he spent nearly ten years working within EPIC (Epidemiology, Population health and Infectious disease Control), a network of experts in the field of foreign animal disease control, funded by the Scottish Government.
His work focuses on assessing the transmission risks of infectious animal diseases and improving surveillance and control strategies in order to support public and industrial authorities in their decision making processes.
