Professor Godfrey is an immunologist with a long standing history as a pioneer in the study of a specialised type of white blood cell, known as NKT cells. NKT cells are activated in response to lipid-based molecules that are thought to alert the immune system, via NKT cell activation, to the presence of infectious agents or other abnormalities. A better understanding of how NKT cells function will provide new approaches to battling a broad range of diseases where these cells are implicated, including cancer, autoimmunity, allergy and infection.

戈弗雷教授是一名免疫学家，在研究一种特殊类型的白细胞（称为NKT细胞）方面有着悠久的历史。NKT细胞被激活是对基于脂质的分子的反应，这些分子被认为是通过NKT细胞的激活来提醒免疫系统感染因子或其他异常的存在。更好地了解NKT细胞的功能将为对抗包括癌症、自身免疫、过敏和感染在内的一系列与NKT细胞有关的疾病提供新的方法。
