Sir Andrew James McMichael, FRS FMedSci KBE (born 8 November 1943) is an immunologist, Professor of Molecular Medicine, and previously Director of the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of Oxford.

[1] He went to school at St Pauls and then to the University of Cambridge at Gonville and Caius College to study medicine (1962–1968).

[2] He went on to complete a PhD at the National Institute for Medical Research supervised by 'Ita' Brigitte Askonas and Alan Williamson.
