Summary
- David S. Gordon, MD was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. His undergraduate degree (BSE) was from Princeton University. He then matriculated at the University of Colorado School of Medicine graduating cum laude. His internship and residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Medical Oncology were completed at Stanford University. In addition, he was an immunology research fellow in the laboratories of the Nobel laureate, Sir Peter Medawar, at Northwick Park hospital in Harrow, UK. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology.
Dr. Gordon’s first responsibility after training was to develop a laboratory immunology program for the Centers for Disease Control where he was Director of the Immunology. In that position, he was involved in the very early years of the HIV epidemic. He also was responsible for the development of the immunology committee of the Southeastern Cancer Study group. He subsequently moved to Emory University School of Medicine as Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology/Oncology and attending physician on the Stem Cell transplant service. During those academic years Dr. Gordon published over 100 original articles and abstracts involving cancer and immunology.
Dr. Gordon has also been involved in the for-profit sector of Oncology and Medicine. He was the founder of two biotech companies, Hycor Biomedical and Mitratech. He also ran the worldwide Hematology/Oncology clinical research program for Johnson & Johnson and had similar responsibilities for two other biotech companies.
In 2002 Dr. Gordon and his wife, Penelope, decided to move to northern Michigan. In addition to the usual clinical responsibilities in the practice, Dr. Gordon has been very involved in the development of a cancer center in Traverse City and he has been vitally involved in the development of the northern Michigan Regional Cancer Program
