Gordon Proctor was appointed Professor of Salivary Biology in 2006 and was a Reader in Secretory Biology at the University of London from 1998 to 2005. He received his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Sheffield in 1984. After retirement, he retains close links with King's College London as an Emeritus Professor. His extensive publications address the role of autonomic nerves in controlling salivary gland function in health and disease. His research has primarily focused on the composition and functions of saliva, examining how altered saliva composition can impact oral health, particularly in conditions like chronic dry mouth and tooth demineralization. Recently, he has collaborated on research concerning Noma, a rapidly progressing orofacial ulcerative disease in children in developing countries, with current projects based at the Noma Children's Hospital in Sokoto, Nigeria. His work on apical periodontitis has linked microbiome associations to salivary and serum inflammatory burdens, resulting in significant contributions to peer-reviewed journals on topics related to microbiome-derived biomarkers and salivary inflammatory markers.
