Rosanne is Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine and Nephrology. Her clinical and research interests are in both canine and feline nephrology and urology. She is interested in all aspects of urinary tract disease but is part of the team offering minimally invasive procedures such as laser ablation of ectopic ureters and laser lithotripsy for stone disease. She is a co-director of the extracorporeal therapies team at the RVC, providing advanced dialysis support for patients with acute kidney injury and plasmapheresis for patients with conditions such as immune mediated haemolytic anaemia, myasthenia gravis and more recently as a novel therapy for cutaneous renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV/Alabama Rot). She provides the clinical support and advice for the RVC's GFR service.
Rosanne's research is focussed on systemic hypertension and chronic kidney disease in cats. She is currently supporting two PhD students evaluating chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorder and oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in feline CKD. Further active research includes the genetics of feline hypertension and whole genome sequencing of E.coli associated with subclinical bacteriuria and urinary tract infections. Rosanne is also chair of the infection control group and responsible for antimicrobial stewardship in the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals.
She supervises postgraduate senior clinical training scholars and is actively involved in the clinical training of undergraduate BVetMed students. Rosanne is also module leader for three medicine modules in the Certificate of Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP) and has lectured both nationally and internationally at both general practice and specialist level in her areas of clinical and research interest.
