Emil is a visiting PhD student in the Structure and Motion Lab. His research examines Equine cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy (CVSM) and is supervised by Dr Thilo Pfau, Dr Renate Weller, Dr. Richard Piercy and Dr. Pia H Andersen.
Biography
Emil qualified as a DVM and cand.med.vet from University of Copenhagen, Faculty of LIFE sciences in 2005. His masters thesis looked at the experimental induction of septic arthritis in horses. He then went on to equine clinical practice for three years and developed a special interest in equine internal medicine and evidenced based medicine.
Emil has been undertaking a joint PhD with the RVC and the University of Copenhagen since october 2009.
Research
Emil had the great opportunity to pursue these interests in a joint project between the RVC Structure & Motion Lab and Large Animal Sciences at University of Copenhagen, Faculty of LIFE sciences.
His PhD project is funded through University of Copenhagen and is entitled "Diagnosing Equine Cervical Vertebral Stenosis/Myelopathy". His work is supervised by Dr.Ing Thilo Pfau (RVC), Dr Renate Weller (RVC), Dr. Richard Piercy (RVC) and Professor Pia Haubro Andersen (University of Copenhagen). The project will combine kinetics, kinematics, electromyography and diagnostic imaging to improve the diagnosis of equine cervical vertebral stenosis/myelopathy.
