Biographical Sketch:
Dr. Allan Mowat has led an independent research group in mucosal immunology since 1983 and is currently Professor of Mucosal Immunology and Assistant Director of the Centre for Immunobiology in the Institute of Infection, Immunology and Inflammation at the University of Glasgow. He has published more than 140 papers on experimental models of intestinal tolerance and immunity, with current work focusing on characterizing the contributions of mucosal dendritic cells and macrophages to local homeostasis and inflammation. He is engaged in a number of collaborative projects around the world, and also has hands on experience of research in a number of labs in Europe and North America, including in industry.
