Anthony J Frew

Biography

He graduated as a physician in Cambridge in 1980 and then trained in respiratory medicine in London, Nottingham, Oxford, and Stoke‐on‐Trent. His interest in academic research, mucosal immunology, and T cells was kindled as early as in 1976 with a student project on coeliac disease. His doctoral thesis on T cells and their emerging role in late‐phase reactions to allergen exposure was undertaken in the 1980s in Barry Kay's laboratory at the National Heart & Lung Institute, London. After post‐doctoral research on occupational (red cedar) asthma in Vancouver, Canada, he joined Stephen Holgate's group in Southampton in 1992.
