Summary

Introduction

On 8 April 2013, Ken Donaldson of the MRC/University of Edinburgh Centre for Inflammation research and ELEGI Colt lab, is retiring from his current job. Inspired by the work and vision of John Davies, Chris Wagner and later Anthony Seaton, he gradually took his position as world-leading expert in particle and fibre toxicology.
