Gillian Wilson is currently working as a Research Associate in the Gerry Graham Chemokine Research Group, focusing on the role of chemokines and their receptors in mammary gland development. Previously, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Aberdeen under Professor Gordon Brown, where she demonstrated that the C-type lectin receptor CLECSF8 is a crucial receptor for immune cells and is essential for anti-mycobacterial immunity. She completed her PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2011, under the supervision of Professors Ross Fitzgerald and Ivan Morrison, during which she discovered a novel superantigen that is important for the pathogenesis of necrotising pneumonia. Her research interests involve studying the directed positioning of immune cells and their interactions with the stroma and epithelium in the mammary gland, providing key insights into understanding developmental processes and the regulation of inflammation, which is significant in breast cancer development.
