Work Experience

Dr. Bouachba is currently a Consultant Pathologist at Institut Curie, Paris, where he focuses on breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers. Previously, he completed residency training in pathology across Marseille, Lyon, and Paris, with subspecialties in fetal, placental, and pediatric pathology. He is also a Research Fellow at the LUMIERE Foundation, contributing to virtual autopsy innovation and fetal imaging protocols. Since 2022, he has also served as a locum pathologist, providing diagnostic services during high-volume demands. His experience bridges clinical diagnostics, hospital-based teaching, and research-driven pathology solutions.

Research Focus

Dr. Bouachba’s core research lies in fetal postmortem imaging (virtual autopsy), placental pathology, and women’s cancers. He has pioneered fetal MRI analysis, contributing to international standards for prenatal weight monitoring. His groundbreaking work demonstrated how postmortem CT surpasses traditional methods in fetal weight estimation. His COVID-19-related placental studies revealed crucial pathological patterns, directly influencing national public health policy. He is particularly passionate about bridging clinical imaging with computational tools (e.g., radiomics) to improve prenatal diagnostics and has advanced fetal volumetric imaging through 3D processing tools.

Conclusion

Highly suitable for the Research for Young Scientist Award.

Dr. Amine Bouachba presents a rare blend of clinical acumen, research innovation, and educational commitment. His groundbreaking contributions to fetal pathology and virtual autopsy techniques are not only scientifically valuable but have also impacted public health policy. He demonstrates a strong trajectory in academic medicine with a clear potential for future leadership in pathology and perinatal imaging research. With minor enhancements in grant leadership and international exposure, he would be a standout global researcher. At this stage, his accomplishments make him a compelling and deserving candidate for a prestigious young scientist recognition. 🏅🔬🌍
