Hervé Tiriac, Ph.D.

Assistant Research Scientist, Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, Moores Cancer Center, University of California, San Diego

Dr. Hervé Tiriac received his BS in Genetics from UC Davis in 2005 and his Ph.D. in biological sciences from UC San Diego in 2011 working with Dr. Tracy Johnson. As a postdoctoral fellow, he trained with Dr. David Tuveson at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory until 2018. There he established protocols to grow and characterize patient-derived three-dimensional organoids, which he tested as a platform for therapeutic discovery and personalized medicine. Hervé returned to San Diego in 2019 to start a program dedicated to pancreas cancer research in the Department of Surgery at UC San Diego Health, working with Dr. Andrew Lowy. Herve’s research takes advantage of patient models such as organoids to identify new therapeutic treatments to circumvent drug resistance in this deadly cancer.
