I am Research Leader at the National Wildlife Management Centre, Woodchester Park, home to the long-running European badger ecology and disease dynamics study.
My research focuses on wildlife disease ecology, especially bovine tuberculosis in badgers. Current projects use camera traps, GPS proximity collars and genetic data to study badger population density, movement, contact rates, relatedness and population size. I am also involved in UK wildlife coronavirus surveillance.
I have a background in ecological and epidemiological research, with previous roles at Operation Wallacea Conservation Expeditions and the Universities of Oxford, Liverpool and Prince Edward Island.
