Bio
Rebecca graduated from Cambridge University in 2007 and spent 3 years in small animal first opinion practice. From 2010-2014 she undertook a PhD at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) entitled “Calcium-phosphate homeostasis in cats with chronic kidney disease”. She subsequently completed a small animal rotating internship and an Internal Medicine residency at the same institution, joining the RVC Internal Medicine Faculty in 2018.
Rebecca enjoys all aspects of small animal internal medicine, particularly nephrology/urology and endocrinology. Her current research interests include feline CKD and nephrolithiasis, canine Cushing’s syndrome and feline infectious diseases.
