Dr Andrews joined Pfizer in 2004 as part of its animal products research and development team at Sandwich, Kent, and has worked in the area of disease control for the last 30 years starting with the State Veterinary Service at Bristol and Penrith before he moved on to the Central Veterinary Laboratory where he studied parasites and salmonella in poutry.
