Pascaline Faure: Pascaline Faure is a Senior Lecturer in medical English and Director of the medical English Department of the Medical Faculty Pierre and Marie Curie. She is also a specialist of medical French. Her research interests are in applied linguistics and discourse analysis; teacher training and further education. Her major works examine the nature of the medical language (etymology, neologism, abbreviation, double discourse, and culture) and the impact of the English language on medical French.

Her Doctorate consisted in re-writing English grammar using biomedical metaphors and humor to render it more easily accessible to medical students and health-care professionals. She takes an interest in the role and education of medical English and French teachers and organizes teacher-training seminars.
