Nancy CATTAN

Doctor in life science (with specialization in immunology and oncology), I worked as a researcher within Inserm Institute and at the Antoine Lacassagne, a center of excellence for the fight against cancer (European project of gene therapy) until 2001.

In 2001, I initiated a major career change; after having written two books, I became a consultant for the pharmaceutical industry and a copywriter. At the same time, I also began to lead debates for various audiences (general public and professionals). Among the many events I animated were the Rendez-vous SANTÉ INSERM, the national program "Bien vieillir" and the Agoras of the ARS.

In 2003, I took up a second career, as a journalist. Editor-in-chief of a national bi-monthly magazine (Seniors), I was also for several years a correspondent for the Nice-Matin group, before being hired by the press group in 2010 as a reporter, and then becoming head of the health section, a position I have held for over 10 years.

In 2017, I created the Nice-Matin Health Club, designed as a think-tank, bringing together the major players in health in the Alpes-Maritimes region, which in 2022 was extended to the Var region. Within this framework, we debate major health issues.
