LONDON, UK: Prof. Mike Curtis from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London has been appointed new Executive Dean of King’s College London Dental Institute, the university has said. The microbiologist succeeds Prof. Dianne Rekow, who retired from her post at the end of last year.
Currently serving as Dean of Dentistry and Deputy Vice-Principal for Health at Barts and The London, Curtis is expected to take the helm of Britain’s most prestigious dental school at the beginning of the next academic year. In the meantime, the institute will continue to be led by Prof. Mark Woolford, who took over in December as interim Executive Dean. Commenting on his appointment, Curtis pledged to maintain and enhance the pre-eminence of dentistry at King’s in education, training and research.
“Professor Curtis’ appointment is an important step for us as we embark on a new university vision and seek to consolidate the Dental Institute’s position as Europe’s most comprehensive centre for dental education, research and patient care,” said Sir Robert Lechler, Provost for Health at King’s.
Last year, King’s was rated fourth in the world in dentistry according to the QS World University Rankings in the US, as well as first in Europe. Currently, around 1,000 students are enrolled in the university, as are 300 distance learning students. Curtis will bring extensive knowledge and research expertise in the field of oral microbiology to the school. His latest research focused on the role of the oral microbiome in maintaining oral health and developing disease, and key microbial virulence determinants of oral bacteria.
