Biographies

Dr Eric Sidebottom is a retired Lecturer in Experimental Pathology in The Sir William Dunn School of Pathology. He was also a Medical Tutor at Lincoln College.

In the early 1990s he spent five years as Assistant Director of Clinical Research at The Imperial Cancer Research Fund (now CRUK). This was followed by 10 years as a freelance Education and Research Consultant, working with The Wellcome Trust, The Department of Health, and various charities and universities.

Now, as a budding medical historian, his mission is to convince the uninitiated, preferably on cruise ships, that world history has been determined more by disease than by kings, politicians, or wars. He regularly lectures on land and at sea and has recently published a guide book to Oxford's Medical History, "Oxford Medicine: A Walk through Nine Centuries".
