About Me

Dr Chris Palgrave graduated from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (R(D)SVS) in 2007 where he completed an intercalated BSc (Hons) and PhD in addition the BVM&S veterinary degree. He spent a year working in mixed practice in the USA before attending the veterinary anatomic pathology residency training programme at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, USA. He returned to the UK in 2010 as a Lecturer in Veterinary Pathology at the R(D)SVS before moving to the Bristol Veterinary School in January 2012 where he is a Senior Lecturer and and Manager of the WikiVet Pathology Facebook page. Chris is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists.

"Like many students, I started vet school with the sole intention of being a mixed-practice vet. However, after the second year of the vet course I took the opportunity to take a year out to try research. After two long years of physiology, biochemistry and anatomy this was an amazing chance to try research and use my brain to really think about something, rather than just memorising vast amounts of information!

At the end of this 'intercalated' year I was awarded my BSc (Hons). However, instead of returning to the vet course immediately, I stayed out for a further three years as a PhD student. During this time I worked at both the R(D)SVS and the Roslin Institute, investigating how genetic differences in the immune system of pigs determine how different species respond to infection.

Upon graduation, in addition to working in practice, there were a range of career options open to me. Having both a vet degree and a PhD meant I was a candidate for a number of positions, including research, industry, academia/teaching or further specialist training (eg a residency). In order to develop my clinical skills and experience, I worked for a year in mixed practice in the United States before attending the Veterinary Anatomic Pathology Residency Training Program at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, USA.

As a pathologist, senior lecturer and researcher, I now have the opportunity to use my clinical experience, research background and specialist training in pathology in a number of ways. These include teaching veterinary and research students, participating in the diagnostic pathology service and working in comparative pathology research - focusing on questions which have direct and practical relevance to both human and animal disease."
