Frédéric GRENOUILLET

Frédéric Grenouillet is a Professor at the University of Franche-Comté, affiliated with the CHU Besançon hospital and the Department of Pathology. His research focuses on mycology, parasitology, and clinical microbiology, with significant contributions to understanding echinococcosis, fungal infections, and diagnostic methods. He leads studies on parasitic diseases such as alveolar echinococcosis and investigates antifungal resistance mechanisms in Candida and Scedosporium species. His work often involves multidisciplinary collaborations, including national registries and international cohorts.

Key research areas include molecular diagnosis of parasitic infections, epidemiology of emerging fungal pathogens, and the impact of environmental factors on infection outcomes. He has published extensively on echinococcosis management in immunocompromised patients and solid organ transplant recipients. Collaborations with institutions like the Pasteur Institute and national networks (e.g., FrancEchino) highlight his leadership in disease surveillance and clinical trials.

His laboratory (PATHOGENES) specializes in pathogen detection using advanced techniques like MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and molecular PCR. He has pioneered studies on fungal biodiversity in environmental samples and developed diagnostic tools for parasitic diseases. His work bridges clinical practice and basic research, emphasizing translational applications.
