Dr Dan Price

Dan started his MRI fellowship in April 2019. The aim is to develop novel control approaches for ectoparasites of veterinary importance.

Throughout his research career to date, he has used functional genomic approaches to better understand mechanisms of host/parasite and host/symbiont interactions. Using these tools, Dan’s overall aim is to better understand parasite biology, in particular how parasites are able to exploit their host.

Kevin Mclean

Kevin is the manager of the Proteomics Facility at Moredun Research Institute. The facility offers a range Proteomic analysis services to Moredun researchers and external collaborators. The services provide researchers with a comprehensive suite of tools for the investigation of infectious diseases and facilitate the identification of vaccine candidates and development of disease control measures.

The facility currently operates three mass spectrometers:

Improving livestock productivity and sustainability through management and genetics

This project investigates how age, grazing management, early life events and tolerance to parasites affects livestock productivity and associated environmental impact.

Monitoring veterinary medicine usage to improve animal performance and efficiency

The project assesses the relationship between the medicines used in beef cattle, whether they are used appropriately, and the performance characteristics of the livestock.

Strategies to promote sustainable parasite control and reduce anthelmintic usage

This project investigates the environmental impacts of grazing and the use of traditional wormers along with an assessment of the impacts of a range of alternative parasite management strategies on livestock productivity and environmental impact.

Addressing knowledge gaps in the sources, epidemiology and genetic diversity of important foodborne pathogens

This project investigates the role of Scottish livestock and their environments in transmission of important foodborne pathogens, Toxoplasma gondii and Campylobacter spp., to humans.

The role of wildlife and livestock in the emergence and persistence of zoonosis in Scotland, and novel interventions

This project answers some of the key questions related to the spread of zoonotic pathogens and will inform on transmission events of pathogens between livestock and humans (and vice versa). In addition, this project offers potential practical solutions to the increase in spread of vectors (ticks) and associated diseases. We are also developing and consolidating approaches quickly adaptable to the investigation of zoonotic outbreaks and/or newly emerging diseases as required.

Novel vaccines to combat significant endemic diseases of livestock in Scotland: Gastrointestinal nematode parasites of ruminants

The aim of this project is to develop highly effective, optimised, safe, novel vaccines for the control of the most production- and welfare-limiting endemic diseases of Scottish livestock caused by parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes.

Novel vaccines to combat significant endemic diseases of livestock in Scotland: Vaccines for reproductive diseases

This project is developing vaccines to control reproductive diseases in sheep and cattle.
