Biography

Biography

Gordon graduated from Edinburgh University with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Medical Microbiology in 1996. He then received a Ph.D. from the Queen's University of Belfast in prosthetic joint infection in 1999. He subsequently undertook two postdoctoral research positions over a 4 year period (2000-2003), focusing on fungal and bacterial biofilm infections at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (USA) and the University of Calgary (Canada). In 2004 he returned to the UK and was appointed as a Lecturer in Microbiology at Glasgow Caledonian University prior to taking up a position of Senior Lecturer in Microbiology at the University of Glasgow Dental School in 2007. Gordon has been the head of Biological and Medical Sciences and the lead for the Infection and Immunity Research Group since 2009. Gordon received his Personal Chair in 2012 and was promoted to Professor of Medical Microbiology. His a Fellow of Royal College of Pathoologists (FRCPath), and is currently the Chair of the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Disease (ESCMID) Study Group for Biofilms (ESGB) and a Fellow of the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (FECMM). He is an honorary member of the British Society for Medical Mycology (BSMM) and acts as a consultant and key opinion leader for a number of commercial partners.

Research interests

Research Interests
Prof Ramage (FRCPath) is a world leading international expert in clinical biofilm infections, with a particular focus on fungus (yeasts and moulds). His group undertakes range of projects in the oral cavity and beyond, investigating complex inter kingdom biofilm infections and understanding more effective ways to diagnose and treat these infections. His group also has an interest in controlling moulds and yeasts on surfaces within the hospital and built environment. His group has extensive experience of microbiome and mycobiome analysis, and using these data to inform the development of biofilm models systems to test new and established antimicrobials (antifungals, antibiotics, antiseptics, disinfectants and novels).

Prof Ramage has over 25 years experience in clinical microbiology and has a longstanding working relationship with the commercial partners:

- GlaxoSmithKline
- Unilever
- Gilead Sciences
- BluTest Laboratories

Key current funded projects
* Plasma activated antimicrobial systems for managing wound infection (EPSRC)
* OMICs approaches to oral health (BBSRC)
* Targeted endolysin treatment of bacterial vaginosis (Innovate UK, CCBio and GCU)
* Integrated Analysis Toolkit for Personalised Oral Health Care (Haleon - formerly GSK Consumer Healthcare)
* Investigating interkingdom biofilm interactions in oral & systemic disease (various)

Teaching

I am the programme lead for the MSc in Oral Sciences. This programme has grown and evolved and is now a world leading programme primarily directed at dental students and scientists interested in working in a Oral Science lab.

https://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/oralsciences/

I am also involved in the provision of microbiology teaching on the BDS Dental and BN Nursing curriculums.
