About
Emily obtained a first class BSc Bioveterinary Science at the University of Chester prior to completing a Master of Research at the University of Liverpool exploring prospective metabolomic biomarkers of equine osteoarthritis using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolomics. In October 2020 Emily started a PhD supervised by Professor Mandy Peffers investigating the role of extracellular vesicles in equine musculoskeletal pathologies and associated regenerative therapies. During this time Emily gained experience in a range of omic techniques including mass spectrometry proteomics, and gained experience in a number of laboratories including the Wauben Lab at Utrecht University, and has also visited the Microsystems Orthopaedic group at the Medical University of Vienna ( Dr Mario Rothbauer), as well as Prof. Tim Welting's lab at Maastricht University. Emily has a keen interest in cell-free regenerative therapeutics and one medicine approaches to research. Now, as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Liverpool Emily is focussing on the development of suitable in vitro models for veterinary orthopaedic research, by incorporating bioengineering approaches, supported by the Horserace Betting Levy Board and Petplan charitable trust. Emily is passionate about including public engagement and actively organises the University of Liverpool Companion Animal Involvement panel.
