Dr Michaela Gibson MSc, PhD, BSc
Lecturer in Animal Science
School of Veterinary ScienceI am a researcher and lecturer in Animal Science at 暴风资源, working across equine science, animal production, and epidemiology. My primary research focuses on catastrophic musculoskeletal injuries in Thoroughbred racehorses, particularly how early-life bone development influences injury risk. This builds on my PhD in bovine growth and development. I bring a systems-level perspective to linking growth patterns with clinical fracture outcomes. My teaching focuses on equine production, nutrition and lower limb anatomy.
