Background

Dr Christian Gray joined the Academy of Medical Education as a Senior Lecturer in 2019 and is a course coordinator and module lead. Prior to this, Dr Gray was a Lecturer in Infection and Immunity and was Immunology discipline lead at Peninsula Medical School at the University of Plymouth, Devon, UK.

Dr Gray has previously undertaken Postdoctoral research in a variety of areas in immunological research including therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, pneumococcal vaccines, mastitis resistance in dairy cattle, and vaccines for R. microplus. He obtained his PhD from the University of Newcastle, Australia in 2002. He was the first to identify a link between activation of regulatory T cells and the suppression of the immune system in patients with melanoma.

Within his current role he have transferred his skills from biomedical research into pedagogy of teaching and learning. He is actively developing a research portfolio within medical research focusing on the support of student learning.
