معرفی
Stanislas Lyonnet is Professor of Genetics at the Paris Descartes Faculty of Medicine and a geneticist at the Necker-Enfants Malades University Hospital in Paris. Since 2016, he has served as Director of the Institute for Genetic Diseases (Imagine), a position that builds on his extensive leadership in genetic research and clinical practice. His career spans several key roles including directing the 'Genetics and Embryology of Malformations' laboratory from 1992 until 2016 and coordinating the Necker site of the National Reference Center for Rare Diseases.
Lyonnet's research focuses on the genetic basis and molecular pathophysiology of congenital malformations, with nearly 400 international publications spanning from 1985 to 2019. His work has significantly contributed to understanding rare genetic disorders, developmental anomalies, and malformation syndromes. Recent publications demonstrate his ongoing contributions to next-generation phenotyping techniques, genotype-phenotype correlations, and the molecular mechanisms underlying various genetic conditions including Coffin-Siris syndrome, ciliopathies, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Inserm Research Prize (2009)
- Collery Prize from the French Academy of Medicine
- President of the European Society of Human Genetics (2013)
Throughout his career, Lyonnet has been deeply committed to knowledge transfer, having directed the European Master's in Genetics at the University of Paris from 2004 to 2017 and authored educational materials including 'Les 100 mots de la génétique.' He currently chairs the scientific council of the École Normale Supérieure (Ulm) and continues to lead research initiatives at Imagine, focusing on advancing the understanding and treatment of genetic diseases through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge genomic approaches.
