个人简介
Gerald Fitzgerald holds a PhD in Microbiology and is currently Professor of Food Microbiology and Head of the School of Microbiology at University College Cork.
He served as Interim Director of the industry-led Food for Health Ireland (FHI) research centre from its foundation until August 2009. FHI (funded jointly by Enterprise Ireland and industry partners) is a national consortium of four research institutions partnered with five major Irish dairy processing companies focused on deriving commercially viable functional ingredients from milk. Prof Fitzgerald is Deputy Director of the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre since its foundation in 2003. This SFI-funded centre (with industry partners also contributing) is focused on understanding the role of intestinal microbiota in human health and disease and it includes approximately 160 research scientists. In the case of the APC and FHI, he was part of the team that prepared and defended the initial submissions and was intimately involved in establishing structures, as well as governance and administration processes for both Centres. Prof Fitzgerald is Director of the UCC BioTransfer Unit since 2000. He was awarded a DSc by the National University of Ireland in 2006 for his published work.
His research interests span fundamental and applied aspects of the industrially important Lactic Acid Bacteria which are used in the production of fermented foods and probiotics, topics in which he has published approximately 250 peer reviewed papers. He is co-inventor on five patents and has directed or co-directed over 50 PhD theses. He was awarded the Royal Irish Academy National Commission for Microbiology Medal for excellence in research in 1995 and in 2010 he, together with his colleagues and collaborators (Profs Colin Hill and Paul Ross and Dr Catherine Stanton), was awarded the International Dairy Federation Elie Metchnikoff Prize in Microbiology. He was recently selected for a Leadership Award under the University Staff recognition Awards Programme 2012. He has worked extensively with the Food Industry throughout his career. He served as Chair of the Glanbia Scientific Advisory Committee for four years (2005 – 2008) and he co-ordinated the UCC Food and Health strategic initiative from 2001 – 2006. He has been Head of the School of Microbiology from 2001-2004 and 2009 - to date. He serves on numerous College, UCC and international committees. He has served on review panels for the Finnish Academy of Science (2011 - 2014), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (2012) and he has acted on Porgramme review panels for TIFN (2012) and VLAG at the University of Wageningen (2015)
