Jonathan Prager

Jonathan “Jon” Prager graduated from the University of Bristol in 2013, and after a few months working in South Africa, returned to the UK to work in mixed practice for 18 months, followed by a one-year rotating internship.

Jon developed a research interest in spinal cord injury, completing a PhD in regenerative medicine and neuroscience at the University of Bristol in 2019, investigating modified olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation. He subsequently spent two years at the Royal Veterinary College as a postdoctoral researcher, working to develop an “intelligent neuroprosthesis” to manage incontinence after spinal cord injury.

After a late gap year, he started at Bristol Vet Specialists as a resident in neurology in July 2022.
