Minh C. Thom, MD

I am a physician-scientist with training in pathology and molecular genetics.

Born in Vietnam and raised in France, I earned my MD from Sorbonne University in Paris, where I also completed my residency.

Alongside my medical training, I completed a Master’s degree in Philosophy with honors.

I independently developed computational skills to support research and data-driven problem-solving.

My research has been presented internationally across the United States and Europe.

Presented at the Plenary Session of the 47th European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) conference in Prague, September 2025

I received multiple awards and competitive grants, including the 2023 Research Grant from the Society of Pathology, the Bernard Beaufrère Research Prize, and the Best Medical Thesis Prize from the Rotary Club of Paris.

Having lived and trained in diverse international settings, I see intellectual flexibility and interdisciplinary collaboration as drivers of innovation.

I currently live in San Diego with my husband and family.

Outside of medicine and research, I enjoy playing pickleball and exploring how culture and language shape the way we understand the world.
