Sir Gregory Winter is a British pioneer of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. He invented techniques to both humanise (1986) and, later, to fully-humanise, antibodies for therapeutic uses. // Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are antibodies that are identical because they were produced by one type of immune cell and are all clones of a single parent cell. ...
Before this groundbreaking work antibodies had failed to live up to their potential because they had been derived from mice. In 1989 Winter was a founder of Cambridge Antibody Technology, which was one of the early commercial biotech companies involved in antibody engineering.
In 2000 Winter founded a company called Domantis to pioneer the use of domain antibodies, which use only the active portion of a full-sized antibody. In 1995 Winter won the King Faisal International Prize for Medicine (Molecular Immunology). Winter is currently the Joint Head of the Division of Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry-Biotechnology at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, an institution funded by the UK Medical Research Council. He is also Deputy Director of the MRC’s Centre for Protein Engineering. Winter was knighted in 2004. He is a Fellow of Trinity College, University of Cambridge.

"Also the best bowler from the Selby Vipers" - Quote by James Schofield *Does a Bruce pose*
Greg Collins grew up in suburban Don Mills, and his gripe is that he used to walk a mile and a half to the hockey rink with a bulky duffle bag weighing him down.
Greg designed a lightweight cowling to fit on an ice resurfacing machine to hide a system that sprays the ice with drops of water, making the surface freeze faster, harder and with more energy efficiency than the old system of flooding rinks.
This winterGreg Collins is not as obsessed with hockey as usual.
Greg was special for many reasons, but basically my relationships with goalies have often been somehow deeper and more concentrated.
Greg was not easily converted to believer, but once done, his loyalty stood like a giant boulder with a flat bottom.
Greg was not physically gifted as a goalie, but in many ways he was as good as I have had because he used all his power to make himself a better player and maybe more importantly, a better teammate.
