Michael Goodfellow (born: 8th January 1941) is a British professor in Microbial systematics especially in actinobacterial taxonomy. He is currently serves as Head of Division of Biology in University of Newcastle upon Tyne.[1] He also is the Vice Chair of the Bergey's Manual Trust.[2]
Education
Goodfellow was born in Ecclefechan , Scotland and went to school at Carlisle Grammar School. He did both his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at the University of Liverpool, graduating from PhD in 1966. He took a Post Doctoral fellowship at the State University of Pennsylvania, then as an MRC Junior Research Fellow at the University of Leicester. In 1969 he joined the then newly established University of Newcastle where he currently serves as Head of Division of Biology.[3]
Goodfellow in University of Newcastle
In Newcastle he established and developed courses in microbial systematics and biotechnology and managed the Microbial Resource Laboratory (MRC) for over 30 years. The MRC has and remains focussed on the development and application of state-of-the-art procedures designed to advance the systematics, ecology and commercialisation of actinobacteria.[3]
- Key achievements at the University of Newcastle include
- Thirty-five years research funding from sponsors such as the European Commission, Research Councils (BBSRC, ESRC, MRC and NERC), The British Council and industrial concerns, notably Glaxo Smith Kline, Novartis and Severn Trent Water (51 funded projects in total).
- Supervision of students who completed 58 Ph. D's., 4 M.Phil's, and innumerable M.Sc's.
- International recognition for promoting actinobacterial biology and prokaryotic systematics, as exemplified by the award of international prizes, honorary degrees,[4][5] and invitations to present keynote lectures at international symposia.
