Dr Jacqueline Norris

Dr Norris current research projects involve feline (FCoV, FIV, FHV) and canine viruses (distemper; parvovirus), aetiology/pathogenesis of renal disease in cats, pathogenesis of dental diseases in companion animals, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and veterinary education. Her main research area is in the immunopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of the dreaded Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a fatal feline coronavirus (FCoV) associated disease of domestic and wild cats.

Dr Gary Muscatello

Dr Muscatello research field covers:
Molecular microbiology with a focus on strain typing, antimicrobial susceptibility and DNA diagnostic techniques of bacterial pathogens.
Postdoctoral research is in the area of food-borne pathogen detection in production animals, specifically the identification of shiga-toxingenic E. coli (STEC) and STEC “supershedders” in cattle herds pre-slaughter as a means of enhancing food safety.

Dr Richard Malik BVSc, DipVetAn, PhD (ANU), MVetClinStud, FACVSc, DVSc, FASM

Dr Malik graduated from the University of Sydney in 1981. He initially trained in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, and then moved to ANU where he completed a PhD in neuropharmacology at the John Curtin School of Medical Research. He subsequently completed a Postdoctoral fellowship at the Neurobiology Research Centre at the University of Sydney, before returning to his alma mater as a Medicine Resident in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. He has strong and varied research interests, most notably infectious diseases (such as cryptococcosis and mycobacterial infections), genetic diseases, and diseases of cats in general and most recently diseases of koalas. Dr Malik has a strong commitment to veterinary continuing education and to collegiate interactions with small animal colleagues in Asia.
