Professor Jacques Miller
Scientific Advisor

Professor Jacques Miles is acknowledged as the scientist who discovered the immunological function of the thymus in 1961 and who identified the existence of the two major types of lymphocytes, T and B cells, in 1967.

2019 Winner of the prestigious Lasker award, often referred to as “America’s Nobels”, for discovering the function of the thymus and for revealing for the first time that there are two types of white blood cells, T cells made in the thymus and B cells made in the bone marrow.
