About
I manage the Animal Endocrinology research lab as an academic member of the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Charles Sturt University. I teach numerous first, second and third year veterinary and animal science subjects such as cell and molecular biology, applied veterinary physiology, animal health and welfare, growth and development. I supervise numerous Honours, Masters and PhD students as part of my research group. Our research is based on the fundamental themes of comparative endocrinology and stress physiology to evaluate animal health, welfare and survival. Our research links the physiological functioning of animals (reproductive and stress endocrinology, immune responses and behavior) with overall health and welfare. We have access to a wide variety of research infrastructure at CSU. I have designed and validated non-invasive endocrine monitoring tools for numerous wildlife species. Recently my lab has also validated non-invasive stress indices in the sheep model. I have research collaborations internationally in Brazil, Peru, Austria, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and India. Institutional Profiles
