Dr. Benoit Hedan obtained his diploma of veterinary medecine (DVM) from the veterinary school of Nantes, France, in 2003. He completed a PhD in canine genetics at the University of Rennes, rance. His studies involved looking for genes associated with merle coat color and with histiocytic malignancies. Dr. Hedan's interests continue to be to evaluate the dog model as a means to decipher genetic disease or multifactorial diseases as cancers.To continue his interest in the genomics of canine cancer, Benoit accepted a Post Doctoral position in the lab in January 2008. Using array based CGH and FISH techniques, he is looking for the cytogenetic anomalies/genome lesions associated histiocytic malignancies in high risk breeds.
