After a seven-year hiatus, the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø podcast returns with Dominic Barfield taking the reins and talking to the researchers at all stages in their careers about the work that they are doing at the UK’s oldest veterinary school. Continuing from the back catalogue from Dr Mattias Kleinz (episodes 1 to 20) and Dr Mark Cleasby (episodes 20-50) Dom (episodes 50-63) with the help of Brian Cox will get you back up to speed with how the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø, the University of London's veterinary school, is pushing the frontiers in veterinary medicine and basic science. We will provide you with an insight into the current research being undertaken and those dedicated researchers in the pursuit of answering those questions to benefit animal health and welfare, today, tomorrow, and beyond. We hope that you enjoy it.

63 Organ-on-a-chip with Professor Dirk Werling
Fri, 3 May 2024Author: Dominic Barfield
Duration: 00:31:21
Welcome to the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø research podcast, where we are joined by Dirk Werling, Professor of Molecular Immunology about the technology which is now available to us at the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø ‘organ on a chip’. Professor Werling shares his obvious passion for this technology and how with his lead involvement in the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø’s new Centre for Vaccinology and Regenerative Medicine, this can help our research and help with the 4R principle of animal welfare. We hope that you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it.

62 Dr Dan O’Neill
Fri, 2 Apr 2021Author: Dominic Barfield
Duration: 01:04:30
Today we are delighted to have Dr Dan O’Neill joining Brian and myself in our remote studio. Dan is Senior Lecturer in Companion Animal Epidemiology here at the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø and leader of the VetCompass Programme. Dan eloquently describes his story. After twenty-two years in general practice wanting to find evidence for treating or informing clients on the common conditions that he saw, he took a leap to find those answers. After leaving the keys to his practice as he left one Saturday, he started a Master’s in veterinary epidemiology the following Monday. A PhD followed and he has stayed true to his word to find answers to those problems and with just under 100 papers published so far, he shows no signs of slowing down. A delight to speak to and be in his company, we hope that you enjoy the podcast as much as we did recording it.
