Neil Andrew Robert Gow (born 30 November 1957)[1] FRS[2] FRSE[3] FMedSci is a Professor of Microbiology in the Institute of Medical Sciences at the University of Aberdeen.[4][5]
Education
Gow was educated at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Aberdeen where he was awarded a PhD in 1982 for research on the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans supervised by Graham W. Gooday.[6][7]
Research
Gow’s research career has been in the field of fungal biology and medical mycology. He is known for his discoveries in fungal biology and genetics, morphogenesis and pathogenesis. His studies of how the cell walls of fungal pathogenic species is assembled, responds to antifungal antibiotics and is recognised by the human immune system directly impacts on the design and use of antifungal drugs, diagnostics and immunotherapies for fungal diseases.[8][9][10][11]
After his PhD, Gow worked in Denver before returning to Aberdeen, where he has developed a team that has recently[when?] become an Medical Research Council (MRC) Centre for Medical Mycology and is one of the largest centres in this field worldwide. He has helped coordinate UK training and research in medical mycology and has acted as President of the British Mycological Society, the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) and the Microbiology Society.[2]
Awards and honours
Gow has received several awards for his research, he was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences[when?], the Royal Society of Edinburgh[3][when?] and the American Academy of Microbiology. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016.[2]
