Education
Educated at Glan Afan Grammar School, Peters graduated in Medicine from the Welsh National School of Medicine in 1961.
Career and research
Peter's research interests focused on the role of the immune system in kidney and vascular diseases. His key achievements included increasing understanding of how a kidney disease called glomerulonephritis develops.
After posts at the University of Birmingham, the National Institute for Medical Research at Mill Hill and the Welsh National School of Medicine, he was appointed Lecturer in Medicine and Consultant Physician at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School (RPMS), Hammersmith Hospital.
Between 1969 and 1975 Peters was successively lecturer in Medicine, lecturer in Medicine and Immunology, and reader in Medicine, before being appointed Professor of Medicine and Director of the Department of Medicine at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School in 1977. Peters' research centred on the immunology of renal and vascular disease, and in particular on how delineation of immunological mechanisms could lead to new therapies for these disorders.
As of 2016 he served on the executive committee of the Francis Crick Institute in London, having served as a director of its predecessor, the National Institute for Medical Research

Peters was knighted in the 1993 New Year's Honours List and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1995. He was a Founding Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. Peters' major contributions to British medicine have been through the promotion of clinical research; at the RPMS he was responsible for sustaining the outstanding reputation of the Department of Medicine; and in Cambridge under his leadership the University's Clinical School became a major centre for medical research, complementing Cambridge's strengths in basic biomedical science. Peters was the President of the Academy of Medical Sciences from 2002 to 2006 and has been a Senior Consultant in Research and Development for GlaxoSmithKline.
