Dr Umer Chaudhry, DVM, MSc, PhD
Associate Professor, Veterinary Parasitology
Dr Chaudhry graduated with a bachelor’s degree (DVM) in Veterinary Medicine in 2005; since then, he has pursued a MSc in Veterinary Parasitology, MSc in Molecular Biology, and MSc in Biomedicine from Sweden. He did his PhD in Veterinary Parasitology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, Canada (2010-2015). Since finishing his PhD in 2015, he worked at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Edinburgh, UK (2015-2020). During this highly competitive BBSRC-sLoLa research fellowship, his research focuses on the arena of global food security to identify new major anthelmintic resistance genetic markers. He also worked at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Surrey, UK (2020-2022). During this competitive One Health EJP Horizon 2020 research fellowship, he was working on foodborne zoonosis and emerging threats of protozoa in the production of animals and humans. He has started working as an Associate Professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine, St George’s University Grenada, Caribbean (2023-2024).
Dr Chaudhry has been involved in teaching the veterinary parasitology and veterinary research module for BVM&S students at the Royal (Dick) Veterinary School Edinburgh. He also contributes to teaching veterinary parasitology and clinical skills to BVM&S students at the School of Veterinary Medicine Surrey. He teaches veterinary parasitology and clinical parasitology modules for DVM students at the St. George's School of Veterinary Medicine in Grenada, Caribbean. He supervise/co-supervisor of the University of Edinburgh and the University of Surrey PhD, MSc/VetMed resident and undergraduate (DVM, BSc, MBChb) students in their research projects. In addition, He is the external supervisor of postdoc, PhD and MSc students from Brazil, Pakistan, Sweden, and France.
Dr Chaudhry led research projects to study parasite epidemiology and antiparasitic drug resistance in animals to tackle production losses. He has developed high-throughput platforms for speciation and early resistance detection with implications for the broader advance of molecular diagnostics. He has investigated antiparasitic drug resistance regarding the effect of selection pressures, fitness cost and gene flow on their emergence and spread. He has increased his knowledge of the multiplicity of parasitic infections, and a better understanding of host-parasite relationships, host management and climate change in disease epidemiology. He has also investigated how parasite antigens can inform vaccine development, providing cross-protection against different host-derived parasite variants.
Dr Chaudhry has substantial experience in applying for research funding. As a principal investigator, he has secured funds from the Carnegie Trust Scotland SRGI-SGU and the Roslin Innovation Edinburgh. The BBSRC-Partnering award and USDA-National Institute of Food and Agriculture funds have been secured as a co-investigator. He holds the studentship funding from the BBSRC-FoodBioSystems DTP, EGRS/PCDS-University of Edinburgh, and FHMS-University of Surrey to supervise (primary/secondary) the PhD students. He also holds the International studentship funds from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan-IRSIP to supervise the PhD students and Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico Brazil funds to supervise postdoctoral researchers. His commitment to quality research is shown through his ability to complete and disseminate work in high-quality research publications.
