Graham Roger Serjeant (born 1938) is a British medical researcher who studied sickle cell disease in Jamaica, setting up screening programmes and long-term cohort studies. He was Director of the MRC Epidemiology Research Unit at the University of the West Indies and remains chairman of the Sickle Cell Trust (Jamaica). He is author or co-author of three books and over 140 publications on sickle cell disease.〔(''Graham R Serjeant'' ), BiomedExperts〕 His work has addressed the variability of sickle cell disease with special emphasis on developing low-cost models of management suitable to countries with large numbers of patients and limited resources. == Early life and education == Graham Serjeant was born in Bristol on October 26, 1938 to Ewart and Violet Serjeant, the middle of three boys born 5 years apart. At about 18 months of age, his family moved to Hove in Sussex and he attended the local primary school from age 5–10 years when he entered the Quaker boarding school at Sibford Ferris in Oxfordshire. In those days, school ended at the 5th form and after passing 11 subjects at ‘O’ level, he moved to another Quaker boarding school, Bootham in York. Here he studied botany, zoology, physics and chemistry at ‘A’ level but set his sights on attending Cambridge. He was successful and proceeded to the entrance examinations at Cambridge where, following an interview with Sir Henry Thirkill, master of Clare College, he was offered a place to study the Natural Science Tripos in September 1957. He completed the Natural Science Tripos Part 1 in 2 years with a 2-I degree and proceeded to sit for a Part 2 in anatomy under Professor John Dixon Boyd. He visited East Africa in the summer of 1960, before commencing clinical studies at the London Hospital in Whitechapel in September 1960. He sought an opportunity to return to Uganda for some clinical training in paediatrics for 4 months under Professor Derrick Jelliffe. He was the only student at that time to request an elective period abroad whereas this has now become a routine part of medical education. This experience proved vital in later decisions to work on sickle cell disease in Jamaica. Returning to Cambridge in June 1963 to take the Medical Tripos examinations, he then returned to the London Hospital for house jobs with the Surgical Unit and Paediatrics (1963-1964) and then to the Royal United Hospital in Bath (1964-1965) where he completed a 6 month assignment in General Medicine and one year in Neurology before returning to London as senior house officer to Professor John Goodwin and Dr. Celia Oakley in cardiology at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith. While in Bath, he met his future wife Beryl Elizabeth King, a medical technologist, and they were married in March 1965. After Hammersmith and passing the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians of London (MRCP), he then looked for work abroad especially Uganda and Nigeria. He applied for a post of senior registrar in the Department of Medicine at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Kingston, Jamaica, and was offered the job by Professor Eric Cruikshank. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Graham Roger Serjeant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
