معرفی
Professor Tom Maddox is an active veterinary academic specializing in epidemiology, diagnostic imaging, and infectious diseases with emphasis on equine and canine clinical research. His work bridges orthopaedic surgery, antimicrobial resistance, and comparative anatomy, directly impacting veterinary clinical practice through evidence-based methodologies.
His research program critically examines disease mechanisms in animals through advanced imaging and epidemiological approaches. Key areas include antimicrobial resistance in equine hospitals, breed-specific orthopaedic solutions for canines, and diagnostic imaging protocols for soft tissue and orthopaedic conditions. His focus on translational outcomes ensures clinical relevance across veterinary specialties.
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal strong trends in clinical veterinary science, particularly in pain management validation, osteoarthritis therapeutics, and cardiac/respiratory pathophysiology. The work consistently employs rigorous methodologies including randomized trials, longitudinal owner-reported data, and advanced imaging correlations, establishing new standards for canine and equine disease management.
- Identification of small non-coding RNAs in canine cranial cruciate ligament rupture as diagnostic and therapeutic targets (PET PLAN CHARITABLE TRUST: Oct 2021 - Apr 2024)
- Development of a medical device to support cell therapy delivery in surgery (MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL: Jul 2016 - Sep 2017)
- Antimicrobial resistance in equines: Carriage and infections with multidrug resistant bacteria (THE HORSE TRUST: Aug 2016 - Oct 2021)
Professor Maddox mentors doctoral candidates on anatomically stratified hip replacements, spinal stabilisation techniques, and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. His teaching leadership includes coordinating advanced imaging modules covering orthopaedic and soft tissue diagnostics for small animals, directly translating research into veterinary education.
