Guillaume Hoareau, DVM, PhD

Dr. Guillaume Hoareau is a veterinarian-scientist and Associate Professor whose work bridges emergency and critical care medicine with fundamental mechanisms of cellular injury and recovery. He earned his veterinary degree from the École Nationale Vétérinaire de Toulouse. He completed specialty training in emergency and critical care before pursuing a PhD in Integrative Pathobiology at the University of California, Davis. His doctoral and postdoctoral research focused on hemorrhagic shock, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and resuscitation biology, conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force and using large-animal translational models. Dr. Hoareau joined the University of Utah as a faculty investigator in the Department of Emergency Medicine and the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute (CVRTI), where his research centers on mitochondrial pathobiology as a unifying mechanism of organ injury in critical illness. His work integrates clinically relevant models with mechanistic studies of mitochondrial structure, energetics, and signaling to identify therapeutic strategies that improve tissue resilience and recovery after severe physiological stress.
