Biography
Jérôme Frenette has completed his Post-doctoral studies from the University of California at Los-Angeles. He has a broad background in Muscle Physiology and Immunology with specific training and expertise in passive (muscle passively stretched up to rupture) and contractile properties (isometric, eccentric, fatigue protocols) of skeletal muscles. These passive and contractility properties are indeed the gold standard for assessing muscle fibrosis, integrity and function and are of paramount importance for evaluating muscle genetic defects or the efficacy of a specific treatment in muscle diseases. He has demonstrated record of accomplished and productive research projects in an area of high relevance for Muscular Dystrophy, Tendinopathy, and Hypogravity-induced Muscle Dysfunction.
