E.J.M.M. Verdegaal, MVM, DVM, PhD, Dip ECEIM, Spec RNVA Eq Int Med, is a registered Equine Internal Medicine Specialist in The Netherlands, Europe and Australia.
Senior Lecturer | Equine Internal Medicine Specialist | Researcher in Equine Thermoregulation and Metabolism

Dr Elisabeth-Lidwien J.M.M. Verdegaal completed a joint-PhD between the University of Adelaide and Ghent University, completed with a double degree, under supervision of Prof Catherine Delesalle (UGhent), Prof Gordon Howarth, and Dr Todd McWhorter (UoA).
Her PhD title: Thermoregulation in exercising horses: Aspects of temperature monitoring during field exercise
digital.library.adelaide.edu.au

Lidwien obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) at Utrecht University, The Netherlands, in 1996. She qualified as an Equine Medicine Specialist with the Royal Dutch Association of Veterinary Specialists. She is a board-certified Diplomate of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine (ECEIM) accredited by passing the ECEIM Board exam in 2009.
Her focus on equine medicine led to 8 years of valuable experience as an Equine Medicine Specialist in private high-profile clinics in Jordan and Kuwait. While there, she was a member of Jordanian and Kuwaiti endurance and jumping FEI committees, where she developed her deep ongoing interest in thermoregulation and heat stress. She was awarded a double degree, Doctor of Philosophy, by Ghent University and the University of Adelaide for her research thesis: “Thermoregulation in exercising horses: aspects of temperature monitoring during field exercise”.
With over 25 years of experience to draw on, Dr Elisabeth- Lidwien Verdegaal is dedicated to performing high-quality research and improving the welfare of all sport horses. Her research is focused on thermoregulation, heat illness and metabolic disorders and has a worldwide impact on how heat stress is managed in real-life equine sport, racing conditions and during transportation in cool and hot weather. Dr Verdegaal is a senior lecturer and board-certified Equine Internal Medicine Specialist (European College of Equine Internal Medicine, ECEIM) with a clinical and research focus on thermoregulation and its impact on metabolism in exercising horses. With extensive experience in equine sports medicine, Dr Verdegaal integrates advanced clinical knowledge and pioneering research to tackle real-world challenges equine athletes face during competitive events, post-exercise recovery and transportation. Her research findings will enhance tools for monitoring and improving welfare and performance in sport horses and racehorses. Her findings have enhanced our understanding of climate-related stressors and significantly contributed to evidence-based strategies for preventing heat stress and exercise-induced injuries and ultimately optimising performance in equine athletes.
She enjoys and has been invited to speak at international and national conferences and meet other researchers to share and collaborate on research projects.

Research Interests
• Equine thermoregulation: Understanding mechanisms of heat dissipation and retention in exercising horses.
• Hyperthermia, metabolism and heat stress injury: Investigating the metabolic consequences of elevated core temperatures during exercise on muscle and gastro-intestinal injury.
• Field-based monitoring and equine athlete health: Developing and validating non-invasive tools for monitoring core body temperature in horses, skin temperature and additional novel diagnostic tests, identifying robust biomarkers for GI injury and systemic stress.
• Transport stress: Exploring strategies to minimise stress and thermal challenges during horse transportation.

Key Achievements
• Published in high-impact journals such as Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Frontiers in Physiology, and Animals.
• Secured and applied for research funding for studies on equine performance, heat stress and transport stress.
• Pioneered the use of telemetric gastrointestinal pills for continuous core temperature monitoring in field conditions in endurance horses and trotters.
• Collaborated internationally with institutions like Ghent University, advancing research in equine metabolic plasticity and comparative exercise physiology (Prof Delesalle).

Teaching and mentorship
Dr. Verdegaal is deeply committed to educating the next generation of veterinarians and researchers, fostering their development into independent scientists. Her courses emphasise evidence-based approaches to equine medicine and health. She is the course-coordinator of the yearlong course Equine Clinical practice, DVM2 in addition to teaching in other courses.

Current Projects
• Thermoregulation and electrolyte supplementation: Investigating electrolyte strategies to optimise hydration and thermoregulation in equine athletes.
• Non-invasive biomarkers: Developing tools to measure inflammation and stress markers during and after exercise.
• Risk factor studies: identifying risk factors for metabolic disorders and exertional rhabdomyolysis (myopathy) in endurance horses and risk factors for exertional heat illness in Australian racehorses.
• Collaboration on metabolic adaptation: Partnering with international researchers to explore equine metabolomics and plasticity under (heat) stress conditions.

Public Engagement
Dr. Verdegaal actively engages with the public through podcasts, articles, and outreach events, sharing her expertise on equine health and performance.

Position
Associate Head of School - International
Fostering and encouraging international collaborations which are essential for the University of Adelaide (and Adelaide University 2025) and to advance research and education at global level.

Since 2012, Lidwien had a colossal commitment to establishing the equine medicine part of all new DVM courses especially Equine Clinical Practice (DVM2). Lidwien also supported the establishment of the equine hospital over the years, Her part-time PhD was all done while being a clinical academic which included teaching final-year rotation students in the equine hospital and lecturing in several DVM courses. The 2nd year-long Equine Clinical Practice (ECP) DVM2 course, is coordinated by Lidwien. This ECP course recently received a comment from the staff-student liaison committee: ‘ECP students greatly appreciated and enjoyed the course’.
