Clotilde Théry is a professor and INSERM director of research (DR2) at Institut Curie in Paris, France.

Théry researches extracellular vesicles that are released by immune and tumor cells, including exosomes that originate in the multivesicular body.

Upon returning to France, Théry took up the topic of cell biology of immune responses at Institut Curie.

Théry began studying exosomes in 1998, at a time when extracellular vesicles (EVs) were largely regarded as inimportant or even artifacts.

[3] In 2007, Théry's current team on Extracellular Vesicles, Immune responses and Cancer was started at Institut Curie, which is now a member of the PSL Research University.
