Anne Galanaud graduated at Paris 4–Sorbonne University and earned her PhD in history at Franche-Comté University on the population of late medieval Dijon. She established a database that includes tax records from about 20,000 persons living between the mid-fourteenth century and the early sixteenth century, managed by an original program developed, with her contribution, by Henri Labesse (Paris–Sorbonne University). Her studies include an analysis of the socio-economic and topographic characteristics of medieval Dijon winegrowers and an analysis of the fate of widows and orphans survivors to the Black Death in Dijon, deciphered from a so far untapped mid-fourteenth century source document. She studied, in collaboration with Pierre Galanaud, the cartography of medieval plagues and now focuses on their impact on fragile populations.
Pierre Galanaud is emeritus professor of immunology at Paris–Sud University. He graduated at Paris–Descartes University Medical School and performed post-doctoral studies at Tufts University, Boston. At Paris–Sud University, he was head of the Internal Medicine and clinical Immunology unit of Antoine Béclère hospital (Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris) and director of the INSERM affiliated research laboratory Cytokines and Immunoregulation. His combined interests in the functional cartography of gene expression in the immune system and in the history of medicine led him to analyze, in collaboration with Anne Galanaud, medieval plagues by applying spatial analysis to the GIS based cartography of deaths (P. Galanaud, A. Galanaud, and P. Giraudoux, Historical Epidemics Cartography Generated by Spatial Analysis: Mapping the Heterogeneity of Three Medieval “Plagues” in Dijon, 2015). This collaboration is pursued for the impact of medieval epidemics on fragile populations.
