Professor Kristen Reyher: ‘Whose bugs are they anyway?’

Kristen Reyher has taken a somewhat roundabout and fairly international career path to arrive as Professor of Veterinary Epidemiology and Population Health. A livestock veterinarian who is fascinated by the people who care for animals, Kristen has worked with farmers and farm animals across numerous continents, bringing her mathletic tendencies and grammatical nerdiness to projects such as Canada’s largest livestock research effort (the Canadian Bovine Mastitis Research Network), the Global Resource for Online Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine Learning and the first studies applying a counselling style called Motivational Interviewing to veterinarian-client communication.

In this inaugural lecture, Kristen will discuss her interdisciplinary research focus on antimicrobial stewardship, use and resistance, work with a One Health focus which weaves together a multitude of disciplines - from laboratory to social sciences with a focus on reliable and shareable data - to uncover the best ways to use antimicrobials responsibly, whatever the species. Kristen takes a participatory approach to research and has been lucky to work with a broad and brilliant range of academics and stakeholders, generating and applying the best evidence and making research both accessible and accomplishable to researchers, veterinary practitioners, farmers and citizens across the globe.
