About me

I graduated from Bristol University in 2004, having undertaken an intercalated Veterinary pathology degree at the Royal Veterinary College during the BVSc course. In October 2007 I completed a PhD at the RVC in in veterinary virology, focusing on a novel canine coronavirus (CRCoV), hypothesised to be part of the kennel cough complex. In January 2008 I began an Anatomical Pathology residency at the RVC.

What I hope to get out of this project

As a regular user of Wikipaedia I would like to be part of the roll out of this veterinary based concept and in particular the WikiPath section. The concept will hopefully be a reference source for study both in the undergradute and postgradute setting and this is where I hope to benefit from this project.

My best learning experience

and why it was good

Pathology that interests me

I am particularly interested in respiratory pathology and infectious respiratory disease. In additon I have a great deal of intrest in the molecular basis of pathological disease and research in this area.

Pathology that is difficult

Neuropathology!
