Dr. Philip Halloran received his MD from the University of Toronto in 1968. He trained in internal medicine and nephrology in Toronto, and completed his PhD in immunology and immunogenetics in London, England at the London Hospital/University of London in 1976.

Dr. Halloran has worked extensively on the regulation of gene expression in transplant organs undergoing rejection, and the effect of tissue injury in transplant organs. A key interest is the molecular mechanism of graft rejection and the role of these mechanisms in the pathology of human graft rejection in the clinic. His recent interests have focused on age effects, and specifically on evidence for the importance of cell senescence mechanisms. He has described mechanisms of action of immunosuppressives and the distinct syndrome of antibody-mediated rejection. Dr. Halloran is Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Transplantation, the official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. The journal launched its first issue in May, 2001. He is an elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation; and has won the Royal College Medal in Medicine, and the Kidney Foundation of Canada Medal of Excellence in Research. Dr Halloran holds a Canada Research Chair in Life Sciences Related to Human Health and Disease. He is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Roche Organ Transplant Research Foundation, an independent Swiss charity with the mission to support research projects aiming to advance the science of solid organ transplantation.
