Denis Lacombe graduated with his MD from the University of Marseilles (France) in 1988 and obtained a Master Post Doctoral Fellowship at The Roswell Park Cancer Institute (Buffalo, NY USA) for research in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics from 1989 to 1991. From 1991 to 1993, he worked as a Clinical Research Advisor in charge of the development of a new drug in oncology in the pharmaceutical industry.

Dr Lacombe joined EORTC in 1993 as a research fellow and quickly became a very active and productive Clinical Research Physician involved in the conduct of clinical research from protocol development through publication for a number of oncology indications from phase I to phase III. Dr Lacombe contributed to the strategic evolution of the EORTC pan-European clinical and translational research infrastructure by setting up various supportive assets such as regulatory and pharmacovigilance expertise as well as partnership models with the pharmaceutical industry. Dr Lacombe rose to the position of Director EORTC Headquarters in 2010, and in April 2015 was appointed EORTC Director General. In his current position, Denis Lacombe is now involved in the coordination and administration of all EORTC activities in order to promote the EORTC as a major European organisation in Cancer Clinical and Translational Research and is responsible for the organization of scientific activities, public relations and medium term strategies as defined by the EORTC Board as well as for internal and external communications.

Dr Lacombe is the author of well over 100 peer reviewed publications and communications that have had a positive impact on the future of cancer therapy.
