The Veterinary Research Club was established in 1929 by a small group of veterinary researchers to provide a forum for discussion of ongoing work. It has grown to a membership of around 200 professional veterinary research workers.
This is a second award for Sian, who also recently received an award for the best short communication by a young investigator at last autumn's ESVD/ ECVD/ ISVD Congress for her work on MICs of topical products for canine pathogenic staphylococci.
