Dr. Filipe Serra Braganca serves as a Researcher and Teacher in the Department of Clinical Sciences at Utrecht University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, specializing in equine sciences. His primary focus area is Equine Health Care, with particular expertise in biomechanics and gait analysis of horses. His research interests center on equine biomechanics, with a strong emphasis on objective lameness evaluation and gait analysis. Dr. Serra Braganca has pioneered work in quantitative locomotion analysis, developing methods to assess horse movement patterns using both traditional and innovative technologies including artificial neural networks for gait classification. His work bridges veterinary clinical practice with advanced biomechanical analysis to improve diagnostic accuracy in equine medicine. His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to equine sports medicine, with a focus on practical applications of biomechanical research for improving horse welfare and performance. The research trends show progression from fundamental kinematic studies toward increasingly sophisticated diagnostic technologies and their clinical implementation. Dr. Serra Braganca actively participates in major equine veterinary conferences including the ECVS annual congress, International Conference on Equine Exercise Physiology, BEVA Congress, and European Veterinary Conference Voorjaarsdagen, where he frequently presents as an invited speaker on topics related to objective lameness assessment and gait analysis. His professional activities include significant engagement with the veterinary community through conference participation and media appearances, including features in Sport Horse Magazine such as 'The Florida Project' which connects scientific research with practical equine applications.
