Histórico
Kenneth Bryson Roberts (1923-2012), physician, professor and 1st Associate Dean of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, was born in London, England in 1923, the son of William Charles and Mary Arabella (Pleace) Roberts. He was educated at Emandel School, Wandsworth, London and graduated from the University of London (MB, BS, MRCS, LRCP) in 1945. He received a BA from the University of Oxford in 1949 and a DPhil degree in 1953. Dr. Roberts began his academic career as a research scientist at Oxford University (Oxford School of Pathology, 1949-1954) and later taught at the Medical College, Baghdad (Associate Professor of Physiology, 1956-1961).
