Biography

After education at the City and Guilds of London Institute, James Collier studied medicine at St Mary's Hospital Medical School, graduating BSc (Lond.) in 1890, MB in 1894, and MD in 1896 from the University of London.[1] He held junior appointments at St Mary's Hospital[8] and was a demonstrator of biology there.[2] At London's National Hospital, Queen Square he was appointed house physician in 1898, registrar in 1899, pathologist in 1901, assistant physician in 1902, physician to out-patients in 1908, and physician in 1921.[1] He also held appointments at St George's Hospital and lectured there on medicine and neurology. He lectured on neurology at Bethlem Royal Hospital and was consulting physician to the Royal Eye Hospital, Southwark.[8]

He was a frequent contributor to Brain and wrote chapters in Allbutt and Rolleston's System of medicine. With his friend WJ Adie (1886–1935), he was responsible for the section on neurology in Price's textbook of medicine. ... His most esteemed work is his comprehensive analysis of Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord, ... written in 1900 in collaboration with JSR Russell and FE Batten.[6]

... Collier was widely regarded as a neurologist of the first rank. He made many contributions to the subject ... such as those on ... Babinski's sign, the localizing signs of cerebral tumours, and Bell's paralysis.[1]

The contemporary concept of the physiology of the Babinski response is similar to that described by Collier in 1899 ...[9]

He worked with Hughlings Jackson on respiratory movements in chloroform anaesthesia, with Kinnier Wilson on myotonia congenita and on disorders that Gowers described as 'ataxia paraplegia'.[10]

On 1 September 1906 at All Souls Church, Langham Place, Collier married Minna Maude Summerhayes. They had one son and two daughters. James Collier's elder brother was Horace Stansfield Collier, F.R.C.S.[8][11]
