Thierry Jarde

Dr Thierry Jarde is Head of the Stem Cell Niche Signalling and Cancer Laboratory in the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at Monash University and Director of the Organoid Program at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. He is also a Victorian Cancer Agency Mid-Career Research Fellow. He is a cancer biologist who has worked for the last 15 years with organoids and mouse models to study stem cell function in health and disease. He completed his doctoral studies at the School of Pharmacy (Clermont-Ferrand) in France before conducting postdoctoral training under the supervision of Professor Trevor Dale at the School of Biosciences (Cardiff University, UK) and Professor Helen Abud at the Biomedicine Discovery Institute (Monash University), where he studied the role of WNT and NRG1 signalling in cancer stem cell biology. Thierry has expertise in the field of intestinal stem cells (e.g. EMBO, PNAS), cancer biology (e.g. Gastroenterology, EMBO Mol Med) and organoid technology (e.g. Cell Stem Cell, Nature Communications, Gut, Oncogene). He has published 38 papers and successfully managed >3M in research funding (e.g. NHMRC, Victorian Cancer Agency, National Breast Cancer Foundation, Cabrini Foundation and CASS Foundation grants).
