Professor of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases, University of Oxford, UK - David has always been an enthusiastic amateur zoologist but when he started working in Northern Nigeria in 1970 he became fascinated, partly through clinical necessity, by venomous snakes and snake bite. Subsequently, he has pursued this interest in Sierra Leone, Kenya, KwaZulu Natal, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Martinique and St Lucia. He has written more than 300 scientific papers and book chapters, including one in the new edition of Campbell and Lamar’s “Venomous Reptiles of the Western Hemisphere”.
