Brian Foxwell received his PhD from the University of Bristol in 1981 followed by a post doctorate at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund now Cancer Research UK where he worked with Andy Creighton and Phil Thorpe on the development of monoclonal antibodies as drugtargeting agents for cancer therapy. This awakened his interests in the huge potential of new technology in therapeutics this led to Brian spending 3 years in industry at Sandoz Basle with Bernard Ryffel investigating the molecular action of cyclosporin. His time in industry was very educational but his personality was not suited to this occupation. He was reluctant to agree routinely to his superiors and elders opinions. Hence in 1989 Marc Feldmann recruited Brian Foxwell to the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology where rheumatoid arthritis RA provided a natural focus for Brian s interest in inflammation mediators and eventually cytokine signal transduction mechanisms and their relationships to molecular pathology drug target identification and the development of new therapies. Brian remained at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology for 21 years where his career flourished. This period saw the integration of the Institute within the Imperial College Faculty of Medicine. Brian was promoted to Senior .
