Gourt Home::Gourt :: Glen Dettman
Glen Dettman, BA, PhD, (b. November, 1921 - d. October 11, 1993) was an Australian pathologist and medical writer who, in 1950, founded the Oakleigh Pathology Service. He was the author of over 50 technical papers, 28 of which are listed on PubMed, and was awarded the Australian Medal of Merit for outstanding scientific research.
Education and career
Dr. Dettman, who earned his B.A. and PhD from the Independent University of Australia, started his career as a laboratory technician trainee at the University of Melbourne's Veterinary Research Institute in 1936, during the depression years, and was later elected as a Registered Pathology Practitioner. Dettman went on to work for the Australian Army Medical Corp, during World War II, as a senior technologist, where he assisted with the original organisation of a blood bank and was involved with the initial use of penicillin.
Dettman later served as a commissioned officer for the Australian army, where he tutored upon army health, with particular emphasis on the value of immunizations. At the time, he was a technical officer with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and his research activities included such fields as antibiotics, bovine mastitis, and staphylococcal studies, which yielded a modified staphylococcal vaccine.
Dettman commenced private medical practice in 1952, and was a devoted husband to his wife Nancy and father of Ian, Clive, and Robin.
