Philip A Geis is a native Texan who earned bachelor and doctor of philosophy degrees in microbiology from the University of Texas. His career in microbiology began in the US Army that awarded Phil the Army Medal of Commendation for establishing clinical microbiological capability for its 45^th Field Hospital. Phil subsequently worked in commercial media production and joined The Proctor & Gamble Company (P&G) following graduation.

Through three decades with P&G, Phil managed global preservative and disinfectant development, studies of household and skin microbial ecologies and hygienic manufacturing. He was the first recipient of P&G's namesake award - Dr. Philip Geis Microbiology Quality Award. While at P&G, he also carried responsibilities for state and federal regulatory compliance and policy matters as well as formulation and product development for which he is co‐inventor for a number of domestic and international products. Phil published, lectured and represented P&G's technical interests on subjects of applied microbiology and environmental policy and edited the most recent Cosmetic Microbiology: A Practical Handbook. He also served as trustee of the Ohio Academy of Science and chaired its Science Policy Committee.

In 2011, Phil retired from P&G, establishing Geis Microbiological Services in affiliation with Advanced Testing Laboratory. His domestic and international clients range from the French Ministry of Culture to Dow 30 multinational cosmetic and household product companies. He currently serves as editor for International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation jounral and instructor for the University of Florida Microbiology and Cell Science department.

Dr. Geis brings unique global expertise and experience in diverse regulatory, manufacturing, product quality and consumer realities for a broad range of products from OTC drugs to fabric softeners to dog food to cultural properties.

菲利普·A·蓋斯是德克薩斯州的本地人，獲得德克薩斯大學微生物學的學士和哲學博士學位。他的微生物學職業生涯始於美國陸軍，因為在其第45野戰醫院建立臨床微生物學能力而獲得陸軍嘉獎勳章。畢業後，菲利普隨後在商業媒體製作領域工作，並加入了寶僑公司（Procter & Gamble, P&G）。

在寶僑工作了三十年期間，菲利普負責全球防腐劑和消毒劑的開發、家庭和皮膚微生物生態的研究以及衛生製造。他是寶僑命名獎項的首位獲獎者——菲利普·蓋斯微生物學質量獎。在寶僑期間，他還負責州和聯邦的法規遵循及政策事務，以及配方和產品開發，並且是多項國內和國際產品的共同發明人。菲利普在應用微生物學和環境政策方面發表過文章、講座，並代表寶僑的技術利益，編輯了最新的《化妝品微生物學：實用手冊》。他還擔任俄亥俄科學學院的受託人，並擔任其科學政策委員會的主席。

2011年，菲利普從寶僑退休，成立了與先進測試實驗室（Advanced Testing Laboratory）合作的蓋斯微生物服務公司。他的國內和國際客戶範圍從法國文化部到道達爾30家跨國化妝品和家庭產品公司。他目前擔任《國際生物劣化與生物降解》期刊的編輯，以及佛羅里達大學微生物學與細胞科學系的講師。

蓋斯博士為各種產品（從非處方藥到柔順劑，再到狗食和文化財產）帶來獨特的全球專業知識和經驗，涵蓋多樣的法規、製造、產品質量和消費者現實。
