Why Is Brian Duerden Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Brian Ion Duerden is a British microbiologist. Duerden graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1972, subsequently lecturing in bacteriology there. In 1979 he obtained his MD from the University of Edinburgh with a thesis entitled, “The characterization and occurrence of clinically important gram-negative anaerobic bacilli”. He then lectured at the University of Sheffield, where he was appointed Professor of Medical Microbiology in 1983, and became consultant microbiologist to Sheffield Children's Hospital.
