| Description: | Adrian Hayday is Professor and Head of the Division of Immunology, Infection & Inflammatory Diseases in King's College London Medical School. A graduate of Cambridge University, Adrian earned his PhD from Imperial College London and did a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT with Susumu Tonegawa where he studied the basis for chromosomal translocations and was an early pioneer in cloning and studying TCR genes, particularly the TCRgamma chain, which sparked his longterm interest in the differentiation and biological function of gamma-delta T cells. A few years ago, Adrian developed an intriguing and novel picture of gamma-delta T cell and Treg development in the thymus, referred to as trans-differentiation. More recently, he has identified a central role for gamma-delta T cells in the rapid response to microbial infection and other inflammatory stresses which he refers to as ''lymphoid stress-surveillance' and which is potentially amenable to clinical manipulation for tumor immunology and autoimmunity. Adrian Hayday is a refreshingly original thinker and highly innovative scientist, as well as an excellent speaker.
