| Citation | Professor Wilson is noted for his structural studies that have led to significant advances in understanding molecular recognition in the immune system and signalling by cytokine hormone receptors. His achievements include the structures of the T cell receptor and its complex with a MHC-peptide, the erythropoietin receptor, antibody-antigen complexes, catalytic antibody mechanisms and the influenza virus haemagglutinin. His work has attracted recognition for the elegance of the structural solution to important biological problems |
