Biography
Andrew Rowley is a professor in aquatic pathobiology in Swansea University. He has over 40 years experience in disease and immunology of aquatic animals ranging from crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, shrimp) to finfish (salmonids). Together with other colleagues, we have investigated how the immune systems of invertebrates respond following 'vaccination' and disease challenge.
