Biography

Biosketch Prof Jean Paul Thiery

Jean Paul Thiery is currently Senior Research fellow and Professor at the National Laboratory in Guangzhou. He is Research Director Emeritus at the Institut Gustave Roussy Comprehensive Cancer Center, Villejuif and at the CNRS unit Matter and Complex Systems in Paris, France. He is also a Visiting Professor at CCBIO University of Bergen, Norway. His influential works include pioneering studies in cell adhesion and migration in early embryogenesis and in elucidating the roles of growth factors and adhesion signaling molecules in Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions (EMT). Jean Paul Thiery is credited to be the first to propose that EMT control invasion and dissemination while the reverse process, MET, is required for the development of clinically detectable metastases in carcinoma. Jean Paul Thiery’s current research focus is to unravel mechanisms driving invasion and metastasis of carcinoma.
Jean Paul Thiery is a French Academy of Science associate member, an EMBO and Academia Europea member. Jean Paul Thiery is a knight of the National Order of Legion of Honor and of the National Order of the Merit, France.
