Biography
Frédéric Preitner holds a Ph.D. in Medical Biochemistry (University of Geneva) in the field of obesity. He then performed a post-doctoral training in the field of insulin secretion at University of Lausanne, and a second post-doctoral training in the field of Insulin action at BIDMC/Harvard Medical School, Boston. Since September 2006 he is developping and running the Mouse metabolic Facility at University of Lausanne. His team has performed in vivo validation of Ariscrown formulations since August 2007.
Research Interest
RNA polymerase activity; metabolic studies.
