Hi I'm
Dr Vincent Bombail
- Position: Research Fellow
- Location: Edinburgh Campus
-
Expertise:
- Livestock and Fishing
I research the biology of positive animal welfare and teach Animal Welfare Physiology, as part of the Animal Welfare Science programme at SRUC’s Edinburgh campus.
Prior to joining SRUC, I held research positions in a number of laboratories in academia and industry, on topics from molecular biology in toxicology and endocrinology, to animal behaviour. I am passionate about understanding how brain and environment interact, and I run and collaborate on several research projects in the field of positive animal welfare science. Whether investigating the biology of play behaviour in laboratory rats, or odour conditioning in farm animals, I am interested in the physiological impact of positive experiences in animals. I am keen to share my enthusiasm for research and teaching, and Science in general, with students at all stages of their academic careers.
