Molecular Medical Microbiology, Three-Volume Set

Max Sussman is Professor Emeritus of Bacteriology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists and Fellow of the Society of Biology. He graduated at the University of Leeds, where he obtained his PhD. From 1958 he was at first Assistant Bacteriologist, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, Scotland and then a Member of the Scientific Staff of the Medical Research Council Experimental Virus Research Unit, Glasgow and a University of Glasgow Special Research Fellow . From 1964-1975 he was Lecturer and later Senior Lecturer in Medical Microbiology at the Welsh National School of Medicine, Cardiff and Honorary Microbiologist to the Cardiff Hospitals and Cardiff Regional Public Health Laboratory. From 1975-1989 he was Professor of Bacteriology and Head of the Department of Microbiology at the Medical School, University of Newcastle upon Tyne and Honorary Microbiologist, Newcastle Health Authority and Newcastle Regional Public Health Laboratory. He was Treasurer and then Vice President of the Institute of Biology 1985-86, Editor, Journal of Applied Microbiology 1983-92 and Foundation Editor, Letters in Applied Microbiology 1985-92. He was President, Society for Applied Microbiology 1994-97 and a General Editor of the 9th Edition of Topley & Wilson's Microbiology and Microbial Infections (1998), which was awarded the 1998 Medical Society of London Award for major edited works. Max Sussman has published on urinary tract infection and inherited complement deficiencies and amongst other subjects more generally on various aspects of clinical microbiology.
