Steven Krilis


Steven Krilis is Professor of Immunology Allergies and Infectious diseases at the University of New South Wales and St George Hospital in Sydney, Australia. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
Krilis specializes in the treatment and research of Antiphospholipid syndrome. His laboratory was the first to recognise the major auto-antigen involved. In 2004 after a decade of research Krilis led a team of researchers which identified a mechanism that can cause blood clots — a discovery with implications for those susceptible to deep-vein thrombosis, strokes, recurrent miscarriages and Antiphospholipid syndrome.
Krillis was made a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours in recognition of his "significant service to medical research in the areas of inflammation, thrombosis and allergic disease".
