Kevin thierry

 

Originally from France, Kevin completed his bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Rouen Normandy University. During this time, he developed a strong interest in understanding the complexity and mechanisms of cancer biology.

 

He was then accepted for a master’s program in cancer biology at the University of Lyon, France, which covered all aspects of cancer research, from bench to bedside and treatment development. With a growing interest in immunotherapy, he chose to specialise in cancer immunology.

 

During this program, Kevin met his future mentor, Dr. Ana Hennino, and joined her lab at the Cancer Research Center of Lyon to study the role of myeloid cells in pancreatic cancer. After graduating, he was awarded a PhD fellowship from La Ligue contre le Cancer to investigate the role of macrophages and the stromal compartment in pancreatic cancer. During his PhD, he developed extensive expertise in cancer immunology, in vivo models, and the development of immuno-oncology therapeutic approaches.

 

Kevin recently moved to Cambridge to join Dr. Daniel Muñoz-Espín’s laboratory at the Early Cancer Institute, where he is working on the interplay between the immune system, ageing, and lung cancer.

 

Outside the lab, Kevin enjoys watching Formula 1 and improving his running performance.
