Peter Parham

Peter Parham is a renowned scientist who studies how our immune system recognizes and interacts with cells, especially in the context of blood and pregnancy. He has made significant contributions to understanding human immune molecules called HLA proteins, which are essential for the immune system to distinguish between self and non-self. His research helps explain why some organ transplants are successful and how immune responses are triggered. Through his work, we gain insights into immune function and tolerance, which are important for treating autoimmune diseases, infections, and improving transplant outcomes.
