Professor Timothy J Williams
He was elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2000, Foreign Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences in 2007, and Fellow of the Royal Society in 2012.
He obtained a BSc in Physiology at University College London and a PhD in Pharmacology at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology. He was appointed to the Asthma UK Chair in 1988 and was based in the Guy Scadding Building until 1998 when he moved his section to the newly-opened SAF Building. He was elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2000 and Foreign Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences in 2007. He was awarded the Gaddum Memorial Prize of the British Pharmacological Society in 2000. From 2006-2010 he was Co-director of the MRC & Asthma UK Centre in Allergic Mechanisms of Asthma, a joint venture with Kings College London.
Professor Williams has supervised 28 PhD students and examined 65 during his career. His research is focused on inflammatory mechanisms with an emphasis on those underlying the recruitment of different leukocyte types to sites of inflammation. Many of his papers are concerned with the role of chemokines in eosinophil recruitment. More recently he has become interested in mechanisms underlying the population of tissues by mast cells and the chemotactic receptors expressed by mast cell progenitors.
He has published 74 reviews/chapters/editorials and 174 peer-reviewed papers including five in ‘Nature’, one in ‘Science’ and many in prestigious journals such as the Journal of Experimental Medicine. Several of these papers are highly cited e.g. on the effects of prostaglandins on the microcirculation (two ‘Nature’ papers, 415 and 450 citations), neutrophil-dependent oedema (‘Nature’ article, 818 citations), the vasodilator action of CGRP (two ‘Nature’ papers, 1630 and 254 citations), Eotaxin a potent eosinophil chemoattractant (three J Exp Med papers, 590, 400 and 181 citations). The discovery of Eotaxin also resulted in several patents which generate royalty revenue for the College.
Professor Williams has been invited to speak at many international conferences including plenary talks and opening keynote lectures. He has given several lectures at FACEB conferences, Keystone Symposia and Gordon Conferences. He has given the Gaddum Memorial Award Lecture to the British Pharmacological Society, the Jack Pepys Lecture to the British Society for Allergy & Clinical Immunology, and the Ulf von Euler Memorial Lecture at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. In June 2011 he was awarded the Paul Ehrlich Lectureship at the Seventh International Eosinophil Society Symposium in Quebec City for the discovery of Eotaxin.
