Siamon Gordon FRS, FMedSci (born 29 April 1938) is a British pathologist.^[1] He is Glaxo Wellcome Professor Emeritus of Cellular Pathology at the University of Oxford.^[2]

Education

He gained his medical degrees (M.B. and Ch.B.) from the University of Cape Town, South Africa. He earned his PhD from Rockefeller University, where he taught from 1971 to 1976. The rest of his career, from 1976 to 2008, was at the University of Oxford.^[3]

He was on the Faculty of 1000.^[4] He was a Visiting Scientist at the NIH.^[5] He is on the Scientific Advisory Board of the American Asthma Foundation.^[6]

Gordon is noted for his work on the phenotypic and functional diversity of macrophages. He began his studies on macrophages while in the laboratory of Zanvil Cohn at Rockefeller University in 1966. Upon his move to the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at University of Oxford in 1976 he continued this work and identified the pan-macrophage marker F4/80. Subsequent studies led to the identification of various scavenger receptors and the cloning of the pattern recognition receptor, Dectin-1.
