I have studied their epidemiology and evolution, development and testing of vaccines and diagnostics, and immunopathogenesis. I have extensive experience of strain surveillance of equine influenza viruses. In collaboration with mathematical modellers and using data from vaccination and challenge studies in ponies and surveillance studies, I have been involved in the development of models to predict the likelihood of vaccine breakdown and occurrence of outbreaks in equine populations. My more recent studies have focused on understanding the molecular and cellular pathogenesis, host range restrictions and transmissibility of equine influenza viruses. These studies include the development of ex vivo tissue models and generation of recombinant viruses with defined mutations. In the field of human influenza, I was involved in developing a cell-based susceptibility assay for neuraminidase inhibitors of influenza. I have also studied the genetic and immunological safety of DNA vaccines in which influenza was used as a model system in mouse studies. My expertise extends to West Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses, members of the Flaviviridae for which both horses and humans are incidental hosts. I am currently involved in the development of serological tests for these viruses. Brief synopsis of career I obtained a BSc (Hons) in Animal Physiology and Nutrition from the University of Leeds. I then worked as a laboratory technician at the Animal Health Trust for a year before beginning part-time study towards a PhD on equine influenza. After gaining my PhD in 1995, I moved into the human influenza field, first at the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control, then at Glaxo Wellcome (now Glaxo Smithkline). I returned to the Animal Health Trust in 2001 where I built up the influenza group over the next 5 years. Although I then moved to the University of Liverpool to study immunopathology of Japanese encephalitis virus, I maintained my involvement in equine virology. After a brief spell as a medical writer, I joined the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science in 2009.
