Barbara is particularly interested in haematological and immune mediated diseases. She has a particular interest in progressing our understanding of optimal immunosuppressive therapy protocols in patients, e.g. with immune mediated haemolytic anaemia.

David is is particularly interested in both disorders of the endocrine system and thoracic medicine. He has had a long standing passion for improving our understanding and management of diabetes mellitus in both dogs and cats. He is also recognised internationally as a pioneer and expert in the management of canine adrenal disorders.

Harriet is particularly interested in nephrology, urology and endocrinology. She is also interested in the development of non-invasive methods for the management of urolithiasis through the use of laser lithotripsy.

Rosanne is Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine and Nephrology. Her clinical and research interests are in both canine and feline nephrology and urology. She is interested in all aspects of urinary tract disease but is part of the team offering minimally invasive procedures such as laser ablation of ectopic ureters and laser lithotripsy for stone disease. She is a co-director of the extracorporeal therapies team at the RVC, providing advanced dialysis support for patients with acute kidney injury and plasmapheresis for patients with conditions such as immune mediated haemolytic anaemia, myasthenia gravis and more recently as a novel therapy for cutaneous renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV/Alabama Rot). She provides the clinical support and advice for the RVC's GFR service. 

Rosanne's research is focussed on systemic hypertension and chronic kidney disease in cats. She is currently supporting two PhD students evaluating chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorder and oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in feline CKD. Further active research includes the genetics of feline hypertension and whole genome sequencing of E.coli associated with subclinical bacteriuria and urinary tract infections. Rosanne is also chair of the infection control group and responsible for antimicrobial stewardship in the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals.

She supervises postgraduate senior clinical training scholars and is actively involved in the clinical training of undergraduate BVetMed students. Rosanne is also module leader for three medicine modules in the Certificate of Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP) and has lectured both nationally and internationally at both general practice and specialist level in her areas of clinical and research interest. 

Rebecca enjoys all internal medicine cases, but is particularly interested in dogs and cat presenting with renal and lower urinary tract disorders or with endocrinopathies. She oversees the medical management for cats that are seen for management through our subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) clinic and her current research focuses on calcium disorders and formation of calcium-based kidney stones.

Ruth has a particular interest in endocrine diseases. This includes the use of novel monitoring methods for diabetes mellitus, including the RVC Pet Diabetes App and the use of flash glucose monitoring systems. Ruth has also worked to promote respiratory medicine at the RVC, including the recent introduction of whole-body plethysmography.

Jack is interested in all aspects of canine and feline internal medicine, although is keen to focus on nephrology.

Sarah's clinical and research interests include gastroenterology, feline infecitous peritonitis and select topics in immune-mediated diseases such as immune-mediated thrombocytopenia.
