Professor Jeffery

Associate Editor: Professor Steve Jeffery

Professor Steve Jeffery qualified with a BSc in Cell Biology at King’s College London in 1971, and obtained a PhD in the same institution in 1974. In the following year he became a Research Fellow at St. George’s University of London, and in 1989 became a lecturer in Human Genetics. A major part of this position was helping to establish Genetics at the medical school, as this did not exist as a separate department. Major initial research interests were autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and Noonan syndrome, but the 2 current major areas are the genetics of human lymphoedema and cardiac arrhythmias. Promotion to a Reader came in 1999 and to Professor in 2002. From 2002 to 2007 he was on the Steering Committee of the London Ideas Genetics Knowledge Park (GKP), and executive committee of the Genetic Applications Unit in the GKP. He has over 140 peer reviewed papers, and has co-authored 4 chapters, and one textbook.
