Intro
Dr William Jordan (William Jordan).

William Jordan is an immunologist working in London, UK.

His work in Immunology has focussed on the role of cytokines during the immune response, with an emphasis on Bone Marrow Transplantation. The long-term aim of this work has been to develop improved techniques for selecting the best possible donor for patients needing a transplant. Better selection of donors helps to reduce likelihood of the patient developing severe Graft-versus-Host Disease, a life threatening complication associated with this type of transplant.

More recently, Dr Jordan has become interested in the study of novel, newly identified cytokines such as the lambda-interferons (IL-28A, IL-28B and IL-29) and the IL-10-related cytokine, IL-19.

Dr Jordan also researches and has published a number of papers examining the genetics and function of beta-defensins and lactoferrin

In the past, Dr Jordan has worked at The Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Imperial College London, The Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London and at The University of Medicine and Dentistry, New Jersey, USA.
