My name is Marion Coste and I am a postdoctoral research fellow at IRD hosted by the SESSTIM lab in Marseille.
I conduct primary research in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on applying health capability as a conceptual framework.
My research fields are health economics, development economics, public health, health policy and bioethics.
Currently, my main research project focuses on extended cost-effectiveness analyses of simplified models of care for viral hepatitis in Senegal and Cameroon.
