School of Animal and Veterinary Science
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
Dr Sharon Siva is a Post-doctoral Researcher Fellow within the Faculty of Sciences. Dr Sharon Siva’s main research interest is the development of novel, non-invasive diagnostic tools for:
- Huntington’s disease
- Other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheirmer’s and Parkinson’s
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Dr Sharon Siva’s other research involvement includes:
- Genetic mapping for application of marker-assisted selection in livestock
- Characterisation of desmosomal proteins involved in maintenance of skin and hair/wool structure and their role in skin diseases and wool production traits
- Linking barrier function and immune response associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Improvement of welfare in animal production
