Eileen Ingham is Professor of Medical Immunology at the University of Leeds. Her work at the interface of biomaterials, engineering and immunology has solved substantial clinical problems. It was her contributions that recognised that materials used in joint implants were not just inert but had the potential to encourage a tissue response that could increase wear. This was translated into a commercial product and has had a significant impact on the field. She is well known internationally; her Queens Anniversary and Woman of Outstanding Achievement Awards from the UK Resource Centre for Women and as a Finalist in the EU Women`s Innovator Award, demonstrate her status as a role model in UK science.
