An expert in the epidemiology of infectious and tropical diseases, Professor Fontanet was the first holder of the "Public health" Chair at the Collège de France (2018-2019) and is also a Professor at the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers. He was a member of the scientific council set up by Emmanuel Macron to assist the French government in managing the Covid-19 pandemic.
