Prof Stephen Todryk

Professor

Department: Applied Sciences

Stephen Todryk is Professor of Immunology within the Department of Applied Sciences.

Having received a BSc in Applied & Human Biology in Aston, Birmingham in 1989, Steve went on to work in an NHS Immunology lab in Oxford for two years. He then embarked on a PhD at Guys Hospital, London, studying immunity and vaccines against streptococci, which he completed in 1995. He carried out postdoctoral studies on cancer immunotherapy at the Cancer Research UK lab at the Hammersmith Hospital and at St George’s London, before setting up a group as a Principal Investigator at the University of Maynooth in Ireland in 2000. He relocated his lab to Trinity College Dublin where he was a Research Lecturer. He came back to the UK, to Oxford University, in 2004, to lead the study of human immunological aspects of malaria vaccine development with Adrian Hill.

Steve joined Northumbria University in 2007 as a Senior Lecturer, became Reader in 2010 and was awarded personal Chair of Immunology in 2012.

Steve has been a member of the British Society for Immunology (BSI) since 1990, and served on the BSI council and local committee. He is a committee member of the local branch of the Royal Society of Biology (RSB), where he is Fellow.

He is also on the Editorial Boards of the following international journals:

Immunology (Impact Factor 5.0)

PloS ONE (Impact Factor 2.7)

Scientific Reports (Impact Factor 4.0)

Frontiers in Immunology (impact factor 6.4)

Cells (impact factor 4.4)

Vaccines (impact factor 4.1)
