Research summary
I have recently completed a Master by Research focusing on improving the diagnostics and monitoring of cats undergoing antiviral treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). This work included the assessment of acute phase proteins before, during and after treatment, therapeutic drug monitoring of antivirals and a pilot study into the utilisation of miRNA analysis in hopes of improving our understanding of this disease. With publications to follow.
