研究领域
Dr. Melody de Laat is a clinical and research veterinarian with over 20 years experience in both clinical veterinary practice and veterinary research. Her research interests encompass disorders of metabolism and nutrition, incretin biology, endocrine dysfunction, equine lameness, veterinary pharmacology and Australian wild horse health and ecology.
Dr. de Laat’s current research projects are diverse and include analyses of the role of incretins in equine metabolic disorders, the recurrence rates of laminitis, the impact of dynamic feeding systems on obesity and metabolism and the role of insulin in equine lameness. In addition to her research and teaching commitments Dr. de Laat is a member of the University Animal Ethics Committee.
Dr de Laat is passionate about animal health and remains committed to the veterinary profession. She has published extensively on disorders of metabolism and laminitis in horses and her seminal publication on insulin toxicity in horses has been listed by Thomson’s ISI among the top 1% of papers published in the plant and animal sciences category since 2010 and was the most cited article in the journal in 2012. She has also received a Discovery Early Career Research Award to continue her research into incretin biology.
