Professor Simon Jones

We are pleased to welcome Professor Simon Jones, Co-Director of the Systems Immunity Research Institute and the Hodge Centre for Translational Neuroscience at Cardiff University, as our guest speaker.

Professor Jones is an internationally recognised authority in cytokine biology. His pioneering research has transformed our understanding of how cytokines regulate inflammation and has led to the development of innovative approaches for treating immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. His work on interleukin-6 (IL-6) signalling has had a major impact on both academic research and the development of biological medicines used in clinical practice.

In addition to his research achievements, Professor Jones advises the pharmaceutical sector on biological medicines, serves on major research funding and advisory panels, and plays a leading role in the International Cytokine & Interferon Society. He has received numerous honours, including the Boltzmann Award for cytokine research, and is a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales and a Member of Academia Europaea.

We look forward to welcoming Professor Jones and hope you will join us for this seminar.
