Timothy "Tim" A.
Springer, Ph.D.
is an immunologist and Latham Family Professor at Harvard Medical School.
Springer is best known for his pioneering work in discovering the first integrins and intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) and elucidating how these cell adhesion molecules function in the immune system.
His innovative use of monoclonal antibodies in his research paved the way for the development of therapeutic antibodies, known as selective adhesion molecule inhibitors, to treat autoimmune diseases.
In recent years, Springer's research interest has expanded to include malaria, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) signaling molecules, and von Willebrand factor.
