He graduated medical school at the University of London in 1967 and worked for several years in medicine and then in medical oncology. He realized that medical oncology was confusing and mainly witchcraft and decided to learn how to do research and was apprenticed at the Imperial Cancer Research Labs, London with Renato Dulbecco. After his molecular biology PhD (5′-mRNA capped ends) he moved after his advisor’s Nobel Prize with him to the USA.

His clinical interests have been for a long time in developing new HCC therapies, focussing initially on hepatic chemoembolization and subsequently on Yttrium-90 bead hepatic internal radioembolization and more recently on vitamin K as HCC therapy. Currently, he is analyzing HCC databases involving several thousand patients, to identify HCC phenotypes with differing clinical parameter patterns and prognoses. The main findings are that context is key, and that any given parameter (such as serum bilirubin or tumor mass) can only be understood in its total clinical context.

Dr. Antoni worked in Thrombosis Research Center, Temple University Medical School, Philadelphia, USA, having faculty position, investigated a role of plasma and intestinal tissue kallikrein – kinin system in experimental IBD, in collaboration with Prof. Dr RB Sartor, NC, and Chapel Hill, US. Currently working as Professor, Silesian Medical University doing research, medical practice, and teaching students. He has supervised two large research projects founded by Polish Ministry of Sciences related to pathogenesis and treatment of human IBD.He also continued IBD coagulation study to evaluate link of coagulation-inflammation in joints and gut diseases, and anti - platelets agents (Clopidogrel) interactions with proton pump inhibitors. My recent projects were also related to the tissue kallikrein – kinin system, and kinin receptors in colorectal polyps, and colorectal cancer as well as a significance of angiogenesis related to kinins and grow factors in ulcerative colitis.
