64 Dr Camilla Pegram

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Welcome to the 91�� research podcast, where we are joined by Dr Camilla Pegram, Lecturer in Veterinary Epidemiology here at the 91��. Dr Pegram is 91�� through and through have completed her veterinary degree here and then returned for a Master’s and has recently completed a PhD looking at applying casual inference methods to emulate randomised clinical trials using VetCompass anonymised clinical records. If you wish to understand, like me, what casual inference is and how it can help, have a listen. We hope that you enjoy.

63 Organ-on-a-chip with Professor Dirk Werling

Fri, 03 May 2024 08:00:00 GMT

Welcome to the 91�� research podcast, where we are joined by Dirk Werling, Professor of Molecular Immunology about the technology which is now available to us at the 91�� ‘organ on a chip’. Professor Werling shares his obvious passion for this technology and how with his lead involvement in the 91��’s new Centre for Vaccinology and Regenerative Medicine, this can help our research and help with the 4R principle of animal welfare. We hope that you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it.

62 Dr Dan O’Neill

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Today we are delighted to have Dr Dan O’Neill joining Brian and myself in our remote studio. Dan is Senior Lecturer in Companion Animal Epidemiology here at the 91�� and leader of the VetCompass Programme. Dan eloquently describes his story. After twenty-two years in general practice wanting to find evidence for treating or informing clients on the common conditions that he saw, he took a leap to find those answers. After leaving the keys to his practice as he left one Saturday, he started a Master’s in veterinary epidemiology the following Monday. A PhD followed and he has stayed true to his word to find answers to those problems and with just under 100 papers published so far, he shows no signs of slowing down. A delight to speak to and be in his company, we hope that you enjoy the podcast as much as we did recording it.

61 Prof Jim Usherwood

Today we are delighted to have Professor Jim Usherwood remotely recording with Brian and myself all appropriately social distancing in our homes (or shed). Jim is a Welcome Trust Senior Fellow and Professor of Locomotor Biomechanics here at the Structure and Motion Laboratory at the 91��. Jim has examined the locomotion of a variety of different species, from mice to pigeons, horses to barn owls, mayflies, ibis, cockatiels and even dogs and humans. We hope that you enjoy.

60 Prof Richard Kock

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 08:00:00 GMT

Today we are delighted to have Professor Richard Kock remotely recording with Brian and myself all appropriately social distancing in our homes. Richard is Professor here at the 91�� in Wildlife Health and Emerging Diseases. Apt timing perhaps to record this perhaps. Richard is the last person known to diagnose a case of Rinderpest in the world and assisted with his team to help eradicate this virus. Richard has been involved in many other projects globally and he speaks about a few of them with us today. Humbling and inspiring, Richard speaks modestly about his involvement in One Health, and why we all need to be more involved. We hope that you enjoy, stay safe.
