Tony’s invaluable commitment to EAACI began in 1999 and continued throughout his entire life. From serving as EAACI President in 2005-2007, he then acted as Chair of the Ethics Committee in 2016- 2018, where he inspired future generations of EAACI leaders. In these many years, his precious participation led to equally many achievements.

Tony contributed tremendously to the success of EAACI, and his extraordinary vision shaped the Academy as it currently stands. His sharp intellect, along with his integrity, honesty and transparency were admired by everyone around him.

Within his two major research areas, Tony led front multicenter studies and became a worldwide key opinion leader in allergen immunotherapy and environmental influence on asthmatic inflammation, particularly on the role of diesel exhaust particles. Tony also acted as the president of the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, where he contributed to the development of the specialty in the UK.

It is now fundamental to transfer his legacy of an open and friendly scientific organisation where colleagues work together for science and ethics. We will all continue to remember who Tony was and what he stood for, and ensure that the future of EAACI is based on what he had traced.
