Clare Rusbridge awarded "best original paper" by FECAVA

A research paper on Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia has received an award for "best original paper" from the Federation of European Companion Animal Veterinary Associations (FECAVA).

Its author, Clare Rusbridge, was presented with her award during the opening ceremony of FECAVA's 20th congress in Munich earlier this month.

Her research was published in a special edition on hereditary diseases in the European Journal of Companion Animal Practice (Volume 23(3) 2013, pp 70-89).

Clare currently divides her time between Fitzpatrick Referrals, where she is chief of neurology, and the University of Surrey, where she is a reader in veterinary neurology.

Her syringomyelia research has been widely published and clinical research into the genetics, management and pathogenesis of the condition is ongoing.
