Professor Lloyd holds the Chair of Veterinary Dermatology at The Royal Veterinary College and leads a clinical and research group in small and large animal dermatology. He is also an RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology and a European Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology.


Biography

Professor Lloyd is a former President of the European Society of Veterinary Dermatology, the European College of Veterinary Dermatology and the Veterinary Wound Healing Association, and founding editor of the journal Veterinary Dermatology.

Research

Professor Lloyd’s research interests are focused on cutaneous infection and immune responses in companion and farm animals with special interest in colonisation, transmission and pathogenesis of infection by staphylococci, including the emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in domestic animals, antimicrobial resistance and yeasts of the genus Malassezia.
