Philip Jones graduated from the Univesity of Bristol in 1991. He spent two years in general veterinary practice in South Wales before returning to Bristol to undertake a PhD on the effects of weaning stressors on the susceptibility of piglets to post-weaning diarrhoea. He was awarded a Research Training Fellowship in Epidemiology from the Wellcome Trust in 1997. During the first year, he studied for the Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis. He subsequently returned to the UK and spent two years at the University of Liverpool investigating the relationship between Johne's disease in cattle and Crohn's disease in dairy farmers. Beginning in December 2001, he was employed at the University of Bristol to work on two projects funded by the European Union and the Food Standards Agency, both investigating factors that influence the development of the mucosal immune system in the small intestines of neonatal piglets. In October 2005, he took up his current position as Lecturer in Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health at the University of Liverpool.
