Hi!

I am a health economist in Belgium. In my work I particularly enjoy the diversity and challenges of assessing the impact of vaccines and other drugs on public health in a comprehensive way.

Beside my job I’m also very interested in new ways to improve health, especially on communicable and non-communicable diseases. After work, you can find me spending time with family and friends, juggling with data and jogging. You’ll find information on all these non-work activities on my blog.

Previously I spent countless nights studying for my MBA at the Vlerick Management School, see Jep does Vlerick for my experience there.

On top of work and work-related interests, I have a strong interest in freedom and privacy linked with software and science (free software, open access for scientific results, etc.). Opinions expressed here are mine and don’t reflect those of companies or projects I’m involved in.

You can follow me via this blog RSS feed and also on Twitter ( @jepoirrier).

Note that, on June 6, 2020, I left WhatsApp and Instagram, the 2 last services from Facebook I was using (after leaving Facebook in 2018). WhatsApp unfortunately doesn’t warn people that their counterpart left (that’s dumb) so here it is: you won’t find me on WhatsApp and I can’t reply to your messages there (I don’t know you sent me anything). You can join me on Signal to chat.
