Dr Jane Ladlow will head up the soft tissue surgery team
A leading expert in brachycephalic research is set to rejoin the Animal Health Trust after more than a decade lecturing in soft tissue surgery.
Dr Jane Ladlow will head up the soft tissue surgery team at the AHT’s Small Animal Referral Centre, where the original airway studies began. The appointment forms part of the AHT's plans to expand their leading veterinary services and research.
“We are delighted to welcome Jane back and announce the introduction of our world-class service at the AHT small animal referral centre specifically for Brachycephalic dogs,” said AHT hospital director Mark Shea. “This will complement the veterinary services already offered by the team which include amongst others oncological, respiratory, abdominal and thoracic surgery.”
Jane worked at the AHT until 2006 when she moved to The Queen’s Veterinary School in Cambridge to become a senior lecturer in soft tissue surgery. As a Royal College and European specialist in small animal surgery, she brings with her a wealth of experience.
Besides an interest in all aspect of soft tissue surgery, Jane is a leading expert in brachycephalic dogs. Her clinical research interests include brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, disease recognition and diagnosis.
Jane’s current research is in non-invasive assessment of respiratory function in the brachycephalic breeds, particularly French bulldogs, pugs and bulldogs using a plethysmography chamber.
