I have continued both a clinical and research interest in antimicrobial resistance and from a research perspective am involved in research into multidrug resistant E. coli in companion animal species. This is currently the topic of a 4 year PhD studentship exploring the molecular epidemiology of these organisms.
I am also involved in cardiovascular research and currently am working on a collaborative project using 2 and 3D models of mitral valve disease in dogs to explore the pathophysiology of this disease and identify potential therapeutic targets.
