Janet Daly

Janet obtained a BSc (Hons) in Animal Physiology and Nutrition from the University of Leeds. She then worked as a laboratory technician at the Animal Health Trust for a year before beginning part-time study towards a PhD on equine influenza. After gaining her PhD in 1995, she moved into the human influenza field, first at the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control, then at Glaxo Wellcome (now Glaxo Smithkline). She returned to the Animal Health Trust in 2001 where she built up the influenza group over the next five years. Although she then moved to the University of Liverpool to study immunopathology of Japanese encephalitis virus, she maintained her involvement in equine virology. After a brief spell as a medical writer, she joined the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science in 2009.
