Simon completed his intercalated Veterinary Pathology BSc from the Royal Veterinary College in 2002, and in the same year participated in the Leadership Programme for Veterinary Students at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, Ithaca, New York. During this summer programme, he carried out research into the possible zoonotic potential of canine and feline Helicobacter spp.

Simon completed his Veterinary degree from the University of Bristol in 2004, then went on to complete a PhD at the Royal Veterinary College in 2007 examining the pathogenesis of a novel canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV ) and its role in kennel cough. He began his three-year pathology residency at the Royal Veterinary College in January 2008 and gained his Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath) by examination in November 2010.

Currently Simon’s main interest is the pathogenesis and histopathological features of acute streptococcal pneumonia in dogs. Simon has previously worked with research groups at the University of Cambridge using signature tagged mutagenesis to identify virulence genes in Streptococcus equi subsp. equi and with the BVDV group at the Royal Veterinary College using a novel plasmid vector system to express viral proteins in mammalian cells lines.
