Fadel Tissir graduated in Biology from University Sidi Mohammed ben Abdellah, Fes, Morocco; and earned his MSc degree from Liège University and PhD from the Free University of Brussels, Belgium. He worked as a postdoc on genetic factors predisposing to psychiatric disorders at the University of Antwerp from 1998 to 2000.
He authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications and serves as a regular reviewer for many journals including Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Communications, PNAS, and funding agencies. He is a member of several scientific societies and editor at eLife and Frontiers in Neuroscience.
