He was educated at Eston Grammar School, King's College London (Bachelor of Science First Class 1969) and at the University of London (Ph.D. 1973).[4] On completion of his PhD, he moved to a lectureship at the University of Kent. He held a personal chair at Kent when he moved to the University of Manchester where he spent the 1990s involved with the development of the School of Biological Sciences as Head of Biochemistry and Research Dean. He moved to Oxford in 2002.

He was Chairman of the Biochemical Society (1999–2002), and is a trustee of Cancer Research UK.

Among numerous prizes, fellowships, and other awards, Keith Gull was awarded the Marjory Stephenson Prize from the Society for General Microbiology (1996), was elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (1999), elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2004, and was awarded the CBE in the 2004 New Year Honours list for services to microbiology.[5] He holds an honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Kent.

Research

According to Google Scholar [6] his most cited peer-reviewed scientific papers are on Trypanosoma brucei [7][8] and Trypanosoma cruzi.[9] More recently the Gull lab[10] has worked on Leishmania[11]
