Prof. Dr. Bernard Tardy | Women’s Health | Research Excellence Award

Clinical Investigation Center, Inserm 1408 | France

Dr Bernard Tardy is MD and Professor of Therapeutics at Université Jean Monnet (Saint-Étienne, France) and until 2018 served as Head of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at the University Hospital Center in Saint-Étienne. Since 2014 he coordinates the clinical research group INSERM CIC 1408 (Centre d’Investigation Clinique) and has since 2020 also served as a scientific advisor to HCERES (the High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education), and since 2022 as scientific advisor to FCRIN (French Clinical Research Infrastructure Network). His clinical-research interests lie in anticoagulation, thrombosis, bleeding risk, haemostasis and critical care medicine, as illustrated by his recent work on bleeding risk in palliative care (the “RHESO” study), heparin-induced thrombocytopenia diagnosis and management, and thrombotic/bleeding risk in haemophilia and haematological malignancies. Over his career he has authored around 13 peer-reviewed clinical and translational research articles (as per your count), this combination has contributed to improvements in diagnosis and management of anticoagulation, patient safety, and evidence-based care.
