- Philip Hugh-Jones FRCP (22 August 1917 – 1 June 2010) was a British respiratory physician and Medical Research Council (MRC) researcher who during the Second World War investigated the effects of gun fumes on tank operators in Dorset and the effect of coal dust on Welsh coal miners with particular relevance to pneumoconiosis. This work led to future post-war pioneering research in lung physiology, the effect of asbestos on the lungs and lung diseases including emphysema. Between 1952 and 1955, he took up a senior lecturer post at the then new University College of the West Indies and was the first to use the terminology of diabetes types 1, 2, and J in his 1955 paper for The Lancet titled "Diabetes in Jamaica". Upon return to the UK, he became a consultant at the Hammersmith Hospital, London, where he continued MRC research on lung gas analysis using a newly modified mass spectrometer. Later, he would go on to King's College Hospital, where he continued research on lung diseases and set up a chest unit. (en)
