'''Jonathan Richard Kerr''', BSc, MBBCh, MD, PhD, FRCPath, is a British researcher who became interested in [[ME/CFS]] after studying the consequences of [[Parvovirus B19]] infection and finding that some of those infected went on to develop [[Chronic fatigue syndrome|CFS]]. He has worked for St. George’s University of London<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://investinme.org/cindex.shtml | title = UK Charity for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Centre of Excellence for ME Blog|website=investinme.org|access-date=2019-08-03}}</ref> and as an Associate professor in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, [[Colombia]].<ref>http://www.urosario.edu.co/Profesores/Listado-de-profesores/K/Kerr-Jonathan-Ricardo/</ref> He returned to the UK in 2018, and practiced at the Department of Microbiology, Norfolk & Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.<ref name="Kerr2019a" /> Dr Kerr died in April 2023.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/5804522506/posts/10159470287237507/|title=Invest in ME Research Group {{!}} Facebook|last=|first=|authorlink=|last2=|first2=|authorlink2=|date=|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2023-04-20}}</ref>
