I am Head of Animal and Veterinary Sciences in the Central Faculty and lead the Disease Systems research team. I have a background in ecology and developed my disease systems approach through a Scottish Senior Research fellowship. My main areas of research are identifying, characterising and quantifying the key biological processes that drive disease persistence and spread in livestock production; in particular those that are sensitive to manipulation for the purpose of disease control. My research aims to provide a detailed understanding of the biology driving disease dynamics and explores
“The potential human and social capital benefits of community-based service provision could turn out to be the silver lining of the cloud of austerity.” Researchers from the James Hutton Institute and Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC), both part of the SEFARI collective, will be among the speakers at this week’s Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Rural Development Conference, Enhancing Rural Innovation, in Edinburgh.

Globally we face significant food challenges, such as the need to produce more food, for a growing population, with less available resources, and within the context of a changing climate and geo-political circumstances. Our scientists are focusing on innovation right across Scotland's food supply chain. This puts SEFARI in a unique position to meet these challenges and contribute to Ambition 2030 by helping businesses and other partners access publicly funded research to drive innovation and sustainable economic growth in Scotland. Attendees will have the opportunity to talk with our
'Protein for Life' is designed to identify and develop guidelines for protein products for healthy ageing (living a better, longer life) that are cost effective, sustainable and enjoyable. Using a unique multidisciplinary approach we aim to understand current consumer behaviours around protein intake, and barriers and constraints to increasing protein intake in an ageing population.
