Professor Dugald Gardner MBChB, MD
Gardner studied for the wartime Natural Sciences Tripos at Cambridge, before graduating in Medicine at Edinburgh in 1948. He then specialised in Internal Medicine, moving on to serve as a physician with the British Army of the Rhine.
He then turned to laboratory medicine in Cambridge.
From Addenbrooke's Hospital there, he moved back to Edinburgh for research into the pathology of rheumatic diseases. A lectureship in Pathology was followed first by a year at Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio, and then, on his return, to an Edinburgh Senior Lectureship.
In 1966 he became the first Director of the new Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology in London. A period as Musgrave Professor of Pathology at Queen's University of Belfast was followed by 12 years in a new Chair at the University of Manchester.
Retiring to Edinburgh, he accepted a Fellowship in osteoarticular pathology which led him to the most modern forms of microscopy while simultaneously allowing him to become Conservator of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
