About
Emma has a wide range of research interests including ruminant nutrition, fertility, animal behaviour and infectious diseases. Emma graduated from Liverpool in 2002 after doing an extra year at Leeds University on nutrition and a project at the Pirbright Institute on Rinderpest. After graduation she went straight into farm practice in the Midlands before moving down south to continue working with livestock. Emma returned to Pirbright to do a PhD on African Swine Fever (ASF) and after finishing went into farm practice in the South West. After a few years she returned to Pirbright, working with commercial companies and overseas governments before coming back to Liverpool. Outside of work Emma enjoys being outdoors as much as possible either in the hills or in the water!
