Biography

Professor of Medicine

Head of Department of Medicine

Immunology

Combines genetics, genomics, immunology and clinical medicine, integrating detailed laboratory analysis of mechanisms of immune regulation with a prospective translational medicine programme in major autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The main focus of the group is investigation of the biology underlying clinical outcome in immune-mediated disease.
