Basile Chrétien

As a passionate Senior Pharmacologist and Hospital Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in drug safety, pharmacoepidemiology, and toxicology, I specialize in leveraging biostatistics, database management, and machine learning to drive innovative, data-driven research in medicine. I also serve as a pharmacovigilance expert for France's medicines safety agency (ANSM) and develop open, reproducible research tools, including the vigicaen R package on CRAN, Open Editors Plus, and SigmaCV. In 2024, I completed a Master's in Biostatistics at Paris-Saclay University to strengthen my analytical skills and expand my use of machine learning, which I now apply daily in my research. I am currently in the second year of my PhD in International Medical Education at Nagoya University's Graduate School of Medicine, where I am developing an active-learning web platform in medicine for integration into the curricula of Nagoya and Caen universities. This project aims to improve medical education through culturally inclusive, adaptive learning environments supported by machine-learning-based outcome analysis. I also co-lead CANAL-AI, a Caen–Nagoya federated-learning collaboration applying privacy-preserving machine learning to cardiovascular outcomes in cancer patients across French and Japanese health data. Beyond this, I contribute as a biostatistician and author across numerous research projects, with more than 100 peer-reviewed publications. I thrive in international environments and am dedicated to building bridges across cultures. My interest in Japan is both professional and personal, and I passed the JLPT N1 in December 2023. よろしくお願いいたします。
