After qualification as a physician, Grange joined the Research Department at the Middlesex Hospital, where he studied the genus Mycobacterium and the diseases it causes in humans and other animals. This followed a stay in Zaire to study the Buruli ulcer. His doctoral thesis was on the classification of certain rapidly growing mycobacteria and led to research on the development of bacteriophage typing of mycobacteria for epidemiology.
Next he was appointed Reader in Microbiology at the National Heart and Lung Institute, where his interests turned to the immunology and epidemiology of tuberculosis. From there he became assistant lecturer (1969-1970) at the Bland Sutton Institute of Pathology of Middlesex Hospital Medical School, University of London and then lecturer in the same school's Department of Microbiology from 1971 to 1976.
From 1976 to 2000, Grange was Reader in Clinical Microbiology at the Imperial College School of Medicine and honorary consultant Microbiologist to the Royal Brompton NHS Trust.
From 1985 to 1995, he was an honorary research fellow at King's College Hospital Medical School. After retirement from ICL he became a Visiting Professor at the University College LondonCentre for Infectious Disease and International Health.
In recent years, Grange's interests have turned to the causes of the world tuberculosispandemic - poverty, inequity and injustice. He retired early from Imperial College London and to work for the British charity TB Alert, the Consultation on Health of the World Council of Churches and the International Society for Human Values.
