Dr. Jack Gauldie

Jack Gauldie has made significant contributions in biomedical science. He was the first to isolate, characterize and identify the molecule responsible for the acute phase inflammatory response; Interleukin 6. This discovery linked the inflammatory response to injury with the immune response and led him to an ongoing exploration of the nature of inflammation in the lung, and the role of other signalling molecules known as cytokines in these and other disease processes.
