About
Alexandre Vivanti, MD, PhD, HDR, is a University Lecturer and Hospital Practitioner at the Paris-Saclay Faculty of Medicine and at Antoine Béclère Hospital (Paris-Saclay Hospital Group), where he practices obstetrics and gynecology and fetal medicine. He heads the fetal medicine unit within Prof. Alexandra Benachi’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Antoine Béclère Hospital), serves as coordinator of a rare disease center of expertise dedicated to placental pathologies in complicated monochorionic pregnancies, and provides specialized care in prenatal diagnosis, high-risk pregnancies, fetal ultrasound, and in utero surgery.
His career combines dual clinical and scientific expertise in obstetrics, fetal medicine, genetics, and translational research. A former resident at the Hôpitaux de Paris and former recipient of an Inserm fellowship, he defended a doctoral thesis on the genetic basis of aneurysmal malformations of the vein of Galen, which was recognized with the Christian Nezelof Prize / Institut Imagine. His work subsequently expanded to include developmental malformations, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, monochorionic twin pregnancies, and the maternal-fetal consequences of viral infections during pregnancy, particularly SARS-CoV-2.
His scientific work lies at the intersection of basic, translational, and clinical research, with a strong focus on perinatal medicine. He has contributed to the identification of genetic determinants involved in several rare diseases, to the development and evaluation of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) strategies, and to major studies on transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2, placental damage, obstetric and neonatal outcomes, as well as the development of recommendations during the pandemic. He coordinates or leads several funded projects, including studies on the performance and limitations of DPNI in complex settings, and participates in numerous national and international multicenter trials.
His work has resulted in a substantial scientific output, with over 120 original articles published in peer-reviewed journals, a Scopus H-index of 24, a SIGAPS score of over 1,800, and nearly 3,000 citations, in journals such as Brain, Nature Communications, The Lancet, The Lancet Infectious Diseases, New England Journal of Medicine, and American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. His influence is further demonstrated by numerous invited lectures in France and internationally, as well as active involvement in several national and international expert groups and learned societies. At the same time, Alexandre Vivanti holds significant teaching responsibilities at Paris-Saclay University, where he coordinates gynecology and obstetrics education and supervises students, residents, theses, clinical practice theses, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations.
He is also involved in the development of national and international guidelines and in leading scientific networks in obstetrics, fetal medicine, and perinatal infectious diseases. His profile is characterized by a strong ability to integrate clinical care, teaching, research, and collective expertise around contemporary issues in perinatal medicine.
