Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory has a new leader.

Matthew Gilmour will start his job as scientific director in February, the Public Health Agency of Canada announced Tuesday.

He will be responsible for the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg and the Laboratory for Foodborne Zoonoses in Guelph, Ont., which examines diseases that can spread between animals and humans.

The job involves managing the delivery of laboratory public health and emergency preparedness programs, providing strategic scientific advice to officials and representing the lab nationally and internationally.

In April,  some scientists and public health leaders expressed concerns that the federal government may not be looking for a top-notch scientist, given how the job was posted on a government jobs website without fanfare, with a short deadline, and without an explicit requirement for candidates to be experienced scientists.

World-renowned HIV scientist Frank Plummer was the lab's previous scientific director.

Gilmour is currently a clinical microbiologist with Diagnostic Services of Manitoba and an assistant professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology at the University of Manitoba.

He previously held the positions of Director of Bacteriology and Enteric Diseases and the Chief of Enteric Diseases at the National Microbiology Laboratory, the public health agency said.
