Stephanie Brien
Doctoral Researcher - University of Edinburgh
Professional Bio
I am interested in health risks at interspecies interfaces, particularly in relation to the conservation of wildlife. I'm currently completing a PhD exploring health risks in antelope conservation reintroductions, with a focus on infection risks at the wildlife-livestock interface, particularly for haemoparasites. Prior to my PhD I worked as a veterinary clinician. I have a broad range of clinical veterinary experience in the UK. I have also worked with captive wildlife in sub-Saharan Africa, managing quarantine facilities and disease outbreaks, and facilitating captive breeding programmes and translocations. Alongside clinical work, I have engaged in research projects on Bluetongue infection in livestock in the UK, mpox in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in Cameroon, and the field ecology of black-bellied pangolins (Phataginus tetradactyla) in Cote d’Ivoire. After my PhD I’m keen to continue researching interspecies infection transmission risks from an EcoHealth/One Health perspective. I’m particularly interested in health risks in conservation translocations and reintroductions.
