James Frederic Riley was a notable English physician, radiologist, and cancer specialist in the 20th century. He is recognized for identifying that mast cells are the primary producers of histamine in the human body, collaborating with Dr. Geoffrey West. His groundbreaking work led to a visiting professorship at the University of Montreal and earned him the Claude Bernard Medal for medical achievement. Additionally, Riley was among the first to find the connection between mast cells and asthma, as well as the potential application of antihistamines in treating this condition.
