Fanny Hontoir

Dr. Fanny Hontoir is an Assistant Professor in Animal Anatomy at the University of Namur, Faculty of Sciences, actively engaged in musculoskeletal research and veterinary education since 2010. Her work focuses on developing ovine models for osteoarthritis and advancing functional imaging techniques for cartilage analysis.

• Doctor of Veterinary Sciences (2018), University of Namur
• Veterinary Medicine diploma (2007), University of Liège
• FELASA accreditation in Laboratory Animal Sciences (2011)

Her research integrates veterinary sciences with biomedical imaging, emphasizing ovine models for osteoarthritis and proteomic biomarker discovery. Recent studies explore radiographic anatomy teaching methodologies and sustainable animal husbandry practices.

Key trends in her publications include translational studies on joint trauma, development of imaging protocols for early cartilage changes, and innovation in veterinary education. Collaborations span animal welfare and biomedical technology.

Dr. Hontoir contributes to international conferences (e.g., EULAR, OARSI) and serves on external boards like the Belgian Pharmacotherapeutic Information Centre (CBIP). She has led projects on osteoarthritis models and soft skills training.
