Following the completion of his PhD in viral genetics in 1998 at Newcastle University, England, Jarrod spent several years as a senior postdoctoral research associate examining the causes of premature birth in humans, using human tissue samples. During this time he developed an interest in the relevance and validity of animal experiments to human disease.
He has authored and co-authored reviews outlining the limitations and hazards of the use of animals to test for substances that can cause birth defects and cancer, and of using chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates in various forms of medical research. He has authored a report on the redundancy of using genetically modified animals to research diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, among others; and was a chief author of a petition submitted in late 2007 by a coalition of organisations to the Food and Drug Administration, requesting that it requires scientists to use valid non-animal methods in research and testing in place of animal methods. He has recently published a paper examining the role of chimpanzees in the development of AIDS vaccines.
He is an Honorary Research Associate at Newcastle University, a Senior Research Scientist for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Science Director of the New England Anti-Vivisection Society and its Project R&R campaign.
