Her primary focus for the past 10 years has been upper respiratory disease in dogs. As clinical director of the Cambridge Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) research group, he has been instrumental in introducing an objective, non-invasive assessment of airway function, identifying risk factors for BOAS, clinical diagnosis, reproduction guidelines and the development of new surgical techniques (laser turbinectomy and laryngeal surgeries).
