Formally he was a Wellcome Trust Fellow, in the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge, UK. He is currently the head of the Inflammation and Immunity Research Group, Institute of Molecular Medicine, St James's Hospital, Trinity College Dublin. Using both animal and cellular models, Professor Fallon's research addresses the mechanisms of modulation of human inflammatory diseases by pathogens, with a focus on parasitic helminths. The objective of the research is to develop novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases. Allergic lung and skin inflammation and inflammatory bowel disease are the principal human diseases investigated by the Fallon Inflammation and Immunity Research Group. Since 1998, pathogen-derived immunomodulatory molecules have been a central theme in Professor Fallon's research.
