Dr. Elisabeth-Lidwien J.M.M. Verdegaal, MVM, DVM, PhD, Dip ECEIM, Spec RNVA Eq Int MedSenior Lecturer | Equine Internal Medicine Specialist | Researcher in Equine Thermoregulation and Metabolism
Dr. Lidwien Verdegaal is a board-certified Equine Internal Medicine Specialist (ECEIM) with registration in The Netherlands, Europe, and Australia.
She holds a joint PhD from the University of Adelaide and Ghent University (Belgium), where her thesis, Thermoregulation in Exercising Horses, pioneered the use of telemetric gastrointestinal sensors (pills) to monitor core temperature in equine athletes under field conditions.
Her research focuses on thermoregulation, heat illness, metabolism and heat stress injury in horses, with a strong emphasis on developing innovative, non-invasive monitoring tools and identifying biomarkers of heat stress and exercise-related injury.
With more than 25 years of clinical and research experience—including high-profile international roles in Jordan and Kuwait—she has significantly advanced evidence-based strategies to safeguard equine welfare and performance in the face of climate change, transportation challenges, and competitive sport.
Dr. Verdegaal’s work has been published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Frontiers in Physiology, Animals, etc. Lidwien was humbled and excited to receive the award for best publication in the Equine Veterinary Australia on the effects of climate change on the Equine Industry.
She collaborates widely with international institutions, including Ghent University, and is actively involved in comparative exercise physiology and metabolomics. Current projects explore electrolyte supplementation strategies, risk factors for exertional rhabdomyolysis and heat illness, and translational applications of equine thermoregulation research to human athletes.
 
As Senior Lecturer and Course Coordinator of Equine Clinical Practice (DVM2), Dr. Verdegaal is deeply committed to teaching and mentoring the next generation of veterinarians and researchers.
She also serves as Associate Head of School – International, fostering global collaborations that strengthen the research and education profile of the School of Animal and Veterinary Science at the University of Adelaide.

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’.
