Fabrice Courtin
Fabrice Courtin is a French geographer and researcher at the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD). At 48 years old, he has played a pivotal role in combating the African sleeping sickness, or trypanosomiasis, which is transmitted by the tsetse fly and has historically been a major public health issue in West Africa.

His work has significantly contributed to reducing the incidence of the disease in countries like Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, and Chad, demonstrating the critical intersection of geography and public health.
