Biography
I gained a Ph.D. from Cambridge University studying inflammatory responses in vascular endothelial cells and trained in microvascular endothelial cell biology with Professor Judah Folkman at Harvard Medical School during my post-doctoral studies. In 1983 I moved to the Department of Immunology, the University of Manchester as a postdoctoral fellow working with Professor Bill Ford and started what has become my life-long interest in specialized high endothelial venule (HEV) blood vessels and T-cell homing in health and disease.
