W. Andrew Yeudall, BDS PhD
Andrew Yeudall attended Glasgow University, where he obtained degrees
in Biochemistry (1983) and Dentistry (1986). Subsequently, he was
awarded a research training fellowship by the Medical Research Council.
He carried out studies at the Beatson Institute in the laboratory
of Dr. Saveria Campo, investigating the possible association of
human papillomaviruses with the etiology of oral cancer. These studies
led to the degree of PhD (1991).
In 1990, he was appointed as a lecturer in oral medicine and oral
surgery at Bristol University, after which he moved, in 1993, as

In 2004, he was honored as a Visiting Professor in the Faculties
of Dentistry at Thammasat, Chulalongkorn and Chiang Mai Universities.
Dr. Yeudall serves on the editorial board of Oral Oncology, and
as an ad hoc reviewer for a number of other journals in the fields
of biochemistry and cancer research. His laboratory works on the
molecular and cellular biology of head and neck cancer metastasis,
and identification of novel therapeutic targets for squamous cell
