The Trust’s three successful veterinary student scholars were welcomed to Newmarket, along with their supervisors, on Tuesday 9th December to present their research to an invited group of clinicians and researchers. Anita Czacharowska (Liverpool), Alexandra Monks (Liverpool) and Madeline Jones (Liverpool) had spent the summer researching and documenting their chosen subjects:

Role of TIMP-1 and MMP-13 in Equine Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Advancing Osteoarthritis Therapy in Racehorses (Anita Czacharowska)

Cell Morphologies and Protein Changes in the Periodontal Ligament of EOTRH Affected Teeth (Alexandra Monks)

Therapeutic Potential of Bovine and Equine Milk-Derived Extracellular Vesicles.  An In Vitro Model of Equine Tendonitis (Madeline Jones)

The presentations were well thought out and detailed and were well received by the audience with Q & A’s to challenge their research.  The students also benefited from a tour of Rossdales Equine Hospital and Diagnostic Centre.

The scholarship was generously sponsored by The Gerald Leigh Charitable Trust of which we kindly thank them for their support.

Their presentations can be found below.
