Dr Jennie Mohler
Jennie is originally from Northern California; her interest in livestock originates from family beef and dairy operations. Jennie's family own a 30,000-cow dairy in Southern Idaho which inspired her to undertake a veterinary degree. Jennie has an undergraduate degree in Animal Health and Production from U.C. Davis (1998) and received her Veterinary Degree from the University of Sydney in 2005. Prior to embarking on a veterinary career Jennie worked in the Biotechnology Industry in the Bay Area of California as a research associate and laboratory animal manager where she developed models of sepsis and endoxemia for determining the efficacy of novel protein compounds and experimental drugs. And gained experience research regulatory standards, Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and Clinical Practices (GCP), along with experience in Quality Assurance (QA) and auditing of research projects.
Jennie completed her PhD in 2013 at the University of Sydney, which evaluated the effectiveness of a new salmonella vaccine. In 2010 Jennie passed her Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientist membership exams in dairy cattle medicine. And in 2022, she became a Fellow in the Higher Education Academy.
Jennie has a keen interest in Salmonella, infectious diseases, livestock health management (calves, small ruminants and pigs), teaching, and teaching models.
