Thierry Boon is a Belgian scientist,former Director of the Ludwig Cancer Research branch in (Belgium) and professor at the Université Catholique de Louvain. He observed that tumour cells that have acquired new mutations as a result of mutagen treatment ''in vitro'', often become incapable of forming tumours because they express new antigens recognized by the T cells of the immune system. His research allowed him to isolate the genes that code for these so-called tumour antigens.〔Boon T, Kellermann O., Rejection by syngeneic mice of cell variants obtained by mutagenesis of a malignant teratocarcinoma cell line, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1977 Jan;74(1):272-5〕 He is a member of the Cancer Research Institute Scientific Advisory Council, The National Academy of Sciences, and The Academy of Cancer Immunology. ==Awards== * 1986: Rik & Nel Wouters Prize * 1986: De Vooght Prize in Immunology * 1987: Cancer Research Institute William B.
