Clare Lloyd

Clare Lloyd completed BSc and PhD degrees in Immunology at Kings College London and undertook Postdoctoral research at Guys Hospital London and Harvard Medical School, Boston. After working in Biotech company in Cambridge she returned to the UK, had multiple Senior Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust, and am currently a Wellcome Investigator. She is Professor of Respiratory Immunology, Head of the Division of Respiratory Sciences at the National Heart and Lung Institute and Vice Dean (Institutional Affairs) in the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College, London. Clare is an elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and a Fellow of the Royal Society for Biology. She is a councillor for the International Society for Mucosal Immunology, Deputy Editor of Mucosal Immunology and serves on the editorial board of Journal of Experimental Medicine, Immunity and Science Immunology.

Clare’s work explores interactions between resident lung cells and immune cells during development and resolution of pulmonary inflammation. Her lab is a multidisciplinary group of immunologists, cell biologists and clinicians who aim to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying common lung diseases, including asthma and fibrotic lung diseases. A particular focus is the understanding of how the immune system senses the inhaled environment, examining how these stimuli influence development of pulmonary inflammation and tissue remodelling across the life course
