Micha is a bioinformatics specialist with a focus on second and third generation sequence analysis and 14 years of experience in barley genomics, variomics and transcriptomics. He is one of the early pioneers of applying these technologies to barley. Over the years he has been involved in a large variety of projects across most of our crop plant species, but most of his research currently relates to barley. Micha's particular interest is in barley variomics and genomics. He has been actively involved in the last two barley genome projects, and also in the development of the last two barley
Sean Wattegedera joined Moredun in 1999 following his undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences (Hons) at Lancaster University. In 2014, Sean became a Senior Research Scientist and completed his PhD (by Research Publications, University of Edinburgh) in 2021. Sean has an interest in cytokine biology and cellular immunology applying this to bacterial and viral diseases of livestock. His main research area is in the understanding of host-pathogen interactions for Chlamydia spp. and developing control strategies for ovine enzootic abortion. Sean is also involved in the development
Joanna has prior experience surveying Scottish smallholders regarding their approach to management and biosecurity in other livestock species, and will bring the experiences gained from that work to bear on questionnaire development and stakeholder engagement.
Caroline has extensive contacts within both the camelid and cervid industries, as well as veterinary clinical expertise as a Veterinary Investigation Officer at one of the SRUC Disease Surveillance Centres, who has experience dealing with cases of clinical disease from both camelid and cervid species and whose work into the quarterly emerging disease surveillance and emerging threats reporting for miscellaneous and exotic farmed species.
John is Professor of disease surveillance at SRUC with extensive experience working with the cervid and sheep industries and government disease control agencies. He spent 8 years working for the provincial government in Alberta, Canada where he provided epidemiological support on many projects and programs to support government disease control projects and programs. Relevant experience includes leading on risk assessments for the cervid industry, including developing models for the spread of disease in the cervid industry, designing and evaluating cervid disease surveillance systems
Sam is a social scientist with an interest in the application of collaborative approaches to problem solving. Sam has worked with ADAS on the social science aspects of the electronic identification/electronic data transfer in a Sheep Pilot Trial in England, liaising with stakeholders collecting a wide range of data (qualitative and quantitative, including ergonomic) over the course of the trial.
Salvatore is a molecular microbiologist with expertise in gut microbiota and in particular chicken gut microbiota and its interactions with host health and performance, finding alternatives to antimicrobial therapies. His specific research interests include: Monogastric (e.g. chicken and pig) gut microbiota and its interactions with host health and performance Antimicrobial alternatives, with special interest in reducing antimicrobial usage in farm animals Modulation/detection of zoonotic pathogens such as Campylobacter Mathematical modelling of gut microbiota Bacteriology and molecular
I am an aquatic epidemiologist who uses statistical and mathematical models to get insight into the interactions between environment, host and pathogen in aquaculture systems, with the goal to deliver evidence based information that can improve health management, mitigate disease and mortality, and improve sustainability of the sector.
Caroline is an expert in veterinary parasitology and has international expertise in developing targeted and sustainable approaches to optimise parasite control in livestock.
I am a vet and a veterinary epidemiologist. I have extensive experience in general practice and in project leadership, management and delivery within both research and surveillance environments. I have a broad spectrum of experience from simple to complex epidemiological field projects, quantitative and qualitative analyses, risk assessments in a number of subject areas and have worked with a variety of inter-disciplinary teams and for a range of funders. I have also been involved with the provision of advice and recommendations to policy colleagues at the science-policy interface and the
