Adrian Clive HaydayFRSFMedSci[1](born April 1956)[3]is the Kay Glendinning professor and chair in the Department ofImmunobiologyatKing's College Londonand group leader at theFrancis Crick Institutein the UK.[4][5]

Education

[edit]

Hayday was educated atQueens' College, Cambridge,where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree innatural sciences (biochemistry)in 1978.[2][1]He went on to complete his PhD inmolecular virologyofPolyomaviridaeatImperial College Londonin 1982.[6]

Career and research

[edit]

Hayday began studying immunology as apostdoctoral researcherin 1982 atMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)supervised bySusumu Tonegawa,[2][7]where he identified the molecular basis ofoncogeneactivation inBurkitt's lymphoma.Thereafter, he first described the genes defininggamma-delta T cells,an evolutionarily conserved yet wholly unanticipated set oflymphocytes.AtYale University,King's College London School of Medicineand theFrancis Crick Institute,Hayday established that gamma-delta T cells are distinct from otherT cells,commonly monitoring body-surface integrity rather than specific infections. Their rapid responses to tissue dysregulation offer protection fromcarcinogenesis,underpinning Hayday's and others' ongoing initiatives to employ the cells forimmunotherapy.[8]

Awards and honours

[edit]

Hayday has received numerous awards, including the William Clyde DeVane Medal, Yale's highest honour for scholarship and teaching. He was elected to head theBritish Society for Immunology(2005–09), and has formally counselledKing's Health Partners,thePasteur Institute,Kyoto University,theMax Planck Institute,the Allen Institute,MedImmune,theNational Institutes of Health,theWellcome Trust,andCancer Research UKwhose science committee he chairs.[1]He was elected aFellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016.[1] He is an honorary member of theBritish Society for Immunology.[9]
