Biography
Prof Jean-Paul Thiery’s focus of research is to unravel the mechanisms of invasion and metastasis of carcinoma cells. His seminal contributions in the study of bladder carcinoma have led to the discovery of molecular mechanisms governing the formation of superficial or invasive tumors. His current studies involve oncogenomics and functional approaches to characterise breast carcinoma basal subtypes and ovarian carcinoma. Prof Thiery is also known for his studies on mechanochemistry of cell adhesion and migration and for his work on the ontogeny of neural crest.
