bio

Etienne Nouguez has a PhD in sociology and has been a research fellow at the CNRS since 2011. He is pursuing his research in two complementary axes. The first axis aims to uncover the ways in which markets are structured and health products (medicines, food, drugs) are valued through the study of relations between regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical companies, experts, healthcare professionals and consumers. The second axis focuses on local public health policies developed by local authorities, healthcare professionals and organizations, social movements and Regional Health Agencies. The exploration of these two axes aims to understand the way in which health value is institutionalized in political and market organizations.
