She knew how to meet beginners and doctoral students at their own level, helping each one progress from their own starting point.
For many years, she taught in the Applied Statistics for Clinical Research (STARC) programme at the Centre d’enseignement de la statistique appliquée à la médecine (CESAM), founded in 1962 by French biostatistician Daniel Schwartz (1917–2009).
An associate professor at Paris VI, she developed the biostatistics program at the Institut de statistique de l’Université de Paris (ISUP) in 1987, and later at the École nationale de la statistique et de l’analyse de l’information (ENSAI), where she taught applied statistics for clinical research. She also taught on the "Statistics and Health" DEA program at Université Paris XI. She taught clinical research with particular enthusiasm, especially the analysis of censored data and non-inferiority trials. She readily ventured into Bayesian statistics.
She co-authored numerous books, including the *bestseller Méthodes statistiques appliquées à la recherche clinique* (Lavoisier), co-authored in 1987 with Robert Flamant and Agnès Laplanche.
