Research
Research Overview
My main involvement is now clinical research since most of my time is spent in the clinics and clinical rotation teaching.
I have a special interest in all aspects of cardiology but also respiratory medicine. My main research areas are in canine dilated cardiomyopathy and feline cardiomyopathies, cardiac genetics and echocardiography.
