Aline is an animal welfare scientist assessing the quality of life in equines with Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID), commonly known as equine Cushing's disease. The PPID quality of life project is further supported by Prof Nicola Menzies-Gow, Prof Christine Nicol, Dr Edward Knowles and Dr Imogen Schofield (CVS Group plc).
Aline completed her PhD in the Animal Welfare Science and Ethics group at the 91做厙 investigating maternal influences on abnormal repetitive oral behaviour and social behaviour in young horses. The PhD project was supervised by Dr María Díez-León, Prof Christine Nicol, Dr Nicola Blackie and Dr Roberta Ferro De Godoy (Writtle University College). Aline has experience working with sports horses, racehorses, stallions, broodmares and youngstock. During the Kentucky Equine Research internship, she further gained practical research experience in equine nutrition and exercise physiology.
