Dr Oliver Garden,  BSc, BVetMed, PhD, MIBiol, DACVIM, DECVIM­CA, MRCVS
Oliver graduated from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) in 1993, having completed an intercalated BSc at King's College London. Subsequent clinical and scientific training followed, with both a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery and a PhD in gastroenterology and immunology at the RVC; a Research Training Fellowship in molecular biology at the University of South Carolina Medical School; a Residency in Small Animal Internal Medicine at Cornell University; and a Wellcome Trust Advanced Fellowship in cellular immunology at the Hammersmith Campus of Imperial College London (ICL). From 2004, Oliver has held a dual appointment with the RVC and ICL. His research focuses on regulatory T cells and autoimmune disease. 

 

 

Professor Daniel Altmann is head of the Human Disease Immunogenetics Group and Professor of Immunology/Deputy Head of Department in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunity.
He worked for a number of years in the area of CD4 T cells and HLA class II in disease models. He moved to Imperial College in 2001 following several years as a tenured scientist with the Medical Research Council Clinical Research Centre. Prior to that he worked at Imperial Cancer Research Fund, the Weizmann Institute of Science and University of Bristol.

 

Professor Michael Ehrensteins research focusses upon immunoregulation in autoimmune rheumatic disease. He is an Honorary Consultant Rheumatologist at University College London Hospitals

 

Professor Kingston Mills is The Professor of Experimental Immunology and Head of The School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity College Dublin. He trained at University College London and NIMR Mill Hill, before joining the Scientific Staff of NIBSC Herts, UK. He returned to an Academic post at National University of Ireland, Maynooth in 1993, where he was Director of The Institute of Immunology. He was appointed to a Personal Chair at Trinity College Dublin in 2001. He heads a research team of over 20 scientists focusing on immune regulation and T cells in infection, cancer and autoimmunity.
