معرفی
Marie Rhodin is a Professor in Anatomy at the Department of Animal Biosciences, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. She holds a DVM (2003) and PhD (2008) focusing on equine biomechanics. Her research emphasizes objective lameness detection, orthopedic diagnostics, and horse-rider interaction using techniques like high-speed cameras and inertial measurement units. Dr. Rhodin is a Diplomate of both the American and European Colleges of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (2017, 2019).
Key educational milestones include Associate Professor (Docent) in 2015 and specialist certification in equine veterinary medicine. Her work spans over 150 peer-reviewed articles, with recent focus on lameness assessment in horses, dogs, and cows, and genetic studies on equine gait variations. Notable contributions include identifying new gait-related genes (RELN and STAU2) in Icelandic horses and developing pain scales incorporating facial expressions.
Dr. Rhodin has advised 17 PhD students across institutions like SLU, Utrecht University, and the Royal Veterinary College. Her research integrates biomechanical innovation with clinical practice, advocating for objective gait analysis as a gold standard in lameness diagnosis. Collaborations with experts in computer vision and genetics further drive advancements in equine health and sports medicine.
