Work Experience
2011-2015; Director Neglected Infectious Diseases, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Dr. Gordon joined the Global Health Program of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in
2011. During his tenure as Director Neglected Infectious Diseases (NID), the team
developed and implemented strategies addressing a portfolio of infectious diseases of the
poor. These included Dengue, Japanese Encephalitis, Human Papilloma Virus, Rabies,
Guinea Worm, Human African Trypanosomiasis, Visceral Leishmaniasis, Schistosomiasis
and the Soil Transmitted Helminths. The strategies encompassed investments and
partnerships in drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, vector control, operational research, advocacy
and policy development. The NID team led creation of the London Declaration on Neglected
Tropical Diseases, a multi-sector public / private partnership supporting global efforts to
control or eliminate a group of 10 Neglected Tropical Diseases. The team also helped a
Chinese-manufacturer successfully achieve WHO prequalification for its Japanese
Encephalitis vaccine, the first Chinese pharmaceutical product to receive WHO
prequalification. NID investments in The Carter Center’s Guinea Worm Eradication
Program contributed to a 93% decrease in the number of cases annually (1794 in 2010 vs.
126 in 2014). In HPV the foundation’s NID team made investments in improving the
coverage of both preventive vaccines and cervical cancer screening and preventive

treatment programs. These investments include funding WHO’s process to update their
guidance to NRAs regarding recommended requirements for licensure of new vaccines,
investing in the development of lower cost HPV vaccines to facilitate coverage of the poor
and evaluating innovative delivery strategies to increase the coverage of cervical cancer
screening and preventive treatment programs.
2007 – 2011; President & CEO, ImmunoBiologics Corporation
Dr. Gordon was the founding President and Chief Executive Officer of ImmunoBiologics
Corporation. ImmunoBiologics Corporation, (IBC), was incorporated to commercially
develop new and replacement vaccines and immunobiologic products for human infectious
