Dr Soussi's research has mainly focused on identifying hemodynamic patterns and host response biomarkers to improve risk stratification in circulatory shock patients (sepsis, cardiogenic shock, severe burn injury). He set up a transatlantic collaborative research project with the St. Michael's Hospital Academic group to identify different subphenotypes/endotypes of critically ill patients in a large international cohort with a biobank (the FROG-ICU cohort) using unsupervised machine learning tools and a multiomics approach. Dr Soussi was awarded in 2022 the prestigious Doctoral Foreign Study Award (DFSA) from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) for his international research project in Toronto.

In 2022, he obtained a PhD in Genes, Omics, Bioinformatics and Systems biology from the University of Paris Cité. His research has mainly focused on identifying hemodynamic patterns and host response biomarkers to improve risk stratification in circulatory shock patients (sepsis, cardiogenic shock, severe burn injury).
