معرفی
Dr. Anna Eleonora Karagianni is a Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Research at the University of Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine. Her work focuses on veterinary immunology, with an emphasis on equine respiratory diseases, bovine tuberculosis diagnostics, and comparative immunology across species. She has contributed to studies on macrophage biology, pathogen-vector interactions, and the application of multi-omics approaches to understand disease mechanisms. Her research spans animal health policy (e.g., EFSA disease assessments), translational immunology (using the horse as a model for human innate immunity), and molecular diagnostics. Collaborations include the Roslin Institute and Edinburgh University, reflecting a One Health approach. Key projects include identifying microRNA biomarkers for bovine TB, analyzing equine asthma cytological profiles, and investigating training-induced immunological changes in racehorses.
Education: DVM, MRes, PhD, MRCVS, AFHEA. Her expertise bridges clinical research and policy, with publications in journals like Tuberculosis, Cells, and Scientific Reports. She has advised on disease categorization for the EU Animal Health Law and contributed to proteomics studies in pediatric airway secretions.
- Key Research Themes: Equine Respiratory Health, Bovine Infectious Diseases, Macrophage Function, Pathogen Surveillance
- Grants and Collaborations: EFSA-funded assessments, multi-institutional studies on immunological mechanisms
Her work highlights the importance of integrating genomic, proteomic, and clinical data to address challenges in veterinary medicine and global health.
