On Tuesday, September 27, 2016, John Trowsdale, PhD will present his keynote address entitled "Immunogenetics and Functions of MHC Molecules".
John Trowsdale, PhD, FMedSoc is head of the Immunology Division in the
 Department of Pathology, Cambridge UK. After postdoctoral work in Paris and California he joined Sir Walter Bodmer's laboratory, an HLA pioneer, in Oxford, which then moved to Cancer Research UK (formerly ICRF) in London. In the early 1980's Trowsdale was one of the first to clone HLA genes and his group was the first to complete sequencing on the entire HLA region. In collaboration with Stephan Beck at the Sanger Centre he provided completely sequenced HLA haplotypes, which are now considered 'gold-standard' reference sequences. Click here to learn more. |
