Simon Jeffs

Simon Jeffs is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Applied Sciences at the University of Brighton, where he contributes to the Ecology, Conservation and Society Research Excellence Group. His academic work bridges parasitology, immunology, and public health, with a focus on antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases.

His research interests include:

• Antibiotic resistance and stewardship
• Public health education among pharmacy students
• Immunopathology of viral infections such as HTLV-1
• Helminth parasites in wildlife and zoonotic transmission

His recent publications and projects reflect a strong engagement with both laboratory-based parasitology and translational public health research. The trend in his work has evolved from molecular parasitology in the 1980s to contemporary studies on antibiotic awareness and immune regulation.

Scientific contributions and projects include:

• Immunopathology of Human T-Cell Lymphotrophic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1)
• Helminth Parasites of Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)
• Studies on pharmacy students’ knowledge of antibiotic use

He has advised research involving student awareness and antimicrobial resistance, and his collaborative projects suggest active engagement with interdisciplinary teams. While no formal grants or awards are listed, his role as Principal Investigator indicates independent research leadership.
