Laurence Fiette is a veterinary pathologist, who specialized in experimental pathology. She contributes to the evaluation and validation of in vivo models of host-pathogen interactions, immunity or cancer. Within the Human Histopathology & Animal Models Unit, she also coordinates all the collaborations of the Unit with other groups from the Institut Pasteur or French or international research centers, who need scientific or technical support.
This workshop provided three days of up to date training in experimental and comparative pathology. The program explored mouse models of cancer, diseases of the skin, muscle, bone, special senses, and immune system. It […]
