Angela Vincent qualified MBBS but after one year obtained an MSc in Biochemistry at UCL and did not pursue further clinical training. Since 1972 she has worked on antibodies in neurological diseases, first in London and then in Oxford at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine. From 1998 to 2016 she led the Neuroimmunology Group. She is currently Emeritus Professor of Neuroimmunology and continues to research into the role of auto-antibodies to ion channels and receptors in peripheral and central disorders. Her research interests include looking for novel antibodies, models of neuromuscular junction and CNS diseases, and the influence of maternal antibodies on development. Among many honours she was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 2011.
