Robert Coultous

Dr. Robert Coultous is an Affiliate Researcher at the University of Glasgow's School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine. His work focuses on equine infectious diseases, particularly piroplasmosis, Theileria equi, and molecular diagnostics. He has contributed to studies on disease epidemiology, parasite genomics, and diagnostic system development across multiple countries including Spain, Croatia, The Gambia, and Ireland.

Research interests include veterinary parasitology, vector-borne infections, and One Health approaches to zoonotic diseases. His recent work explores microRNA-based diagnostics for conditions like Johne's disease and cardiovascular issues in horses. Collaborative projects involve genomic analysis of pathogens and risk assessments for disease spread in the UK.

No scientific awards are listed, but his research has led to peer-reviewed publications in journals like the Equine Veterinary Journal and Parasites and Vectors. He has conducted studies on lab diagnostic techniques and their validation, contributing to improved surveillance methods for equine diseases.
