In 1998 he was appointed Deputy Head of School until his retirement in August 2003. Dr Perry worked in two major areas of research during his time at Bristol. He studied the influence of environmental (especially lighting) and physiological factors on sexual maturity and egg production in poultry, while in the 1970s and 80s he made groundbreaking contributions to knowledge of the role of pheromones in mammalian reproduction. He was the first to establish the existence of a mammalian chemical communication system and his work is still widely cited as classic contributions to the field.
