Jon Hazeldine MSc, PhD, AFHEA

Dr. Jon Hazeldine, MSc, Ph.D., AFHEA is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. Dr Hazeldine graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2007 with a BSc (Hons) in Human Biology before undertaking an MSc in Immunology in 2008 during which he studied the effect of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors on neutrophil lifespan. Dr. Hazeldine then joined the research group of Professor Janet M. Lord for his Ph.D. studies that investigated the effect of human aging on the function of the innate immune system, focussing specifically on the cytotoxic activities of natural killer cells and neutrophils. Since completing his doctorate, Dr. Hazeldine has taken his interest in innate immunity into the setting of major trauma and burns, where he explores the short (hours-days) and long (weeks, months, and years) term effects of the severe injury on the immune system and how this influences patient outcomes.
