Dr Eggleton trained in Medical Microbiology, Biochemistry and Immunology at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine and Royal College of Surgeons of England under the supervision of Professors Godfrey Smith, Derick Fisher and Neville Crawford. He then conducted post-doctoral research in neutrophil physiology with Professor Alfred Tauber in Boston, USA (1992-94), before joining the MRC Immunochemistry Unit, Oxford (1994-2002), where he conducted his own research in innate immunity (C1q and collectins) under the guidance of Professor Ken Reid FRS.
Dr Eggleton‘s research interest focuses on the understanding of innate and adaptive immunity in the pathology of autoimmune disease (systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis) and more recently, cancer, with a special interest in the role of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone proteins (calreticulin/calnexin).
