معرفی
Dr. Manouk Vrieling is an active Researcher in Virology & Molecular Biology at Wageningen University & Research's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, specializing in livestock infectious diseases with particular expertise in Streptococcus suis, Staphylococcus aureus, and influenza viruses. Their work bridges veterinary science and human health through zoonotic disease research.
Research interests focus on:
- Airway immunology and respiratory virus pathogenesis in livestock
- Host-pathogen interactions of bacterial pathogens in swine
- Development of advanced cell culture models including air-liquid interface systems
- Antimicrobial resistance patterns in veterinary medicine
Recent publication trends show increasing focus on translational models connecting animal and human health, particularly through airway epithelial cell cultures that model respiratory infections across species. Research spans virology, bacteriology, and immunology with strong applications in veterinary public health.
Scientific contributions include:
- Leading 6 research projects (3 active, 3 completed) including Streptococcus suis surveillance and organoid-based disease modeling
- 19 research outputs including articles in high-impact journals like mBio and Journal of General Virology
- Media engagement on 'mini lungs' technology for animal disease research
Dr. Vrieling leads multiple LVVN-funded projects focused on livestock pathogens and collaborates internationally, with datasets hosted at institutions including the University of Edinburgh. Current work emphasizes One Health approaches connecting animal and human disease mechanisms.
