Biography
Dr Paul Kaye is Professor of Immunology and founding Director of the Centre for Immunology and Infection (CII). He obtained his undergraduate degree in Zoology from Imperial College in 1981 and his PhD in Immunology from University College London in 1984. At UCL, he studied the heterogeneity of antigen presenting cells, working in Prof. Sir Marc Feldmann's laboratory at the ICRF Tumor Immunology Unit. Paul then moved to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for a post-doc with Jenefer Blackwell, examining how the macrophage natural resistance gene Nramp1 affected antigen presentation. Paul was appointed Lecturer in Immunology in 1988 and became Professor of Cellular Immunology and Head of the Immunology Unit in 1998. He joined the University of York and the Hull York Medical School (HYMS) in 2004, establishing the Immunology and Infection Unit, the predecessor to the CII. Paul is a Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator and in 2015 was elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
