RESHAPE research laboratory
in Public Health

U1290 RESHAPE was directed by Prof. Antoine DUCLOS and co-directed by Prof. Anne-Marie SCHOTT until 2023. Since July 2025 it has been directed by Prof. Marie Préau and co-directed by Prof. Julie Haesebaert. This unit brings together teacher-researchers in public health and various clinical disciplines in the fields of medicine, surgery, obstetrics and midwifery, pharmacy and psychology. It welcomes many post-doctoral students, doctoral students and internship students. In July 2025, the POPs (Social Psychology Center) team at Lyon2 University jointed Reshape.

RESHAPE is located on the Rockefeller campus at the Lyon Est Faculty of Medicine, and has replaced the HESPER team, created in January 2016.

The laboratory’s research work is positioned within Health Services Research. Originally targeting healthcare professionals: personal and human factors and the quality/safety of care, as well as contextual and organizational factors and the quality/safety of care, on the one hand, and interactions between Professionals - Patients & patient pathways, on the other hand, This work uses observational approaches on warehouses/large databases, observational cohorts, in a simulated universe, and interventional approaches.

Following the inauguration of the new management, the themes have evolved into four areas: participatory approaches, patient care and life course, primary prevention, health and student health performance.
The laboratory has structured three methodological platforms made available to researchers:
–A "Participatory and Mixed Methods" platform with the creation of a patient/citizen, and researcher collective;
–A "Health Simulation" platform based on SIMULYON. This platform will also include dedicated facilities within the laboratory.
–A "Local and national data warehouses" platform based on warehouse data including the National Health Data System (SNDS) (M. Viprey).
