Laurent Tiret

Laurent Tiret is a Professor in Comparative Physiology and Pharmacology and serves as a Research Group Leader at the Institut Mondor de Recherche Biomédicale (IMRB) within the University of Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), actively conducting research in biomedical genetics and neuromuscular systems.

His educational background includes:

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)
• PhD
• HDR accreditation (Habilitation to Supervise Research)

Research interests center on comparative medical genetics, neuromuscular system biology, and myology, with emphasis on genetic disease mechanisms in cats, dogs, and mice. His work spans fundamental biological research to therapeutic trial development using novel animal models, addressing critical gaps in understanding muscular disorders and translational medicine. Tiret also spearheads the SERIES program's 'Ethics in preclinical studies' initiative, analyzing regulatory frameworks and ethical challenges in animal experimentation while promoting innovative biomedical tools.

He leads a dedicated research group at IMRB focused on neuromuscular disease pathways and genetic disorder characterization, leveraging veterinary medicine expertise for cross-species medical insights.
