Researcher Association
Academic researchers within the RVC work in a variety of areas, from cell biology to animal locomotion; based across both campuses, Camden and Hawkshead. The Researcher Association (RA) represents research staff at all stages, from research assistants to fixed-term senior research fellows across the RVC, within the Research Concordat Working Group. The RA also provides training and social opportunities as well as a means for short-term staff to interact with the wider college.
The current RA team are: Dr Floryne Buishand (Hawkshead, CSS), Dr Melanie Hay (Boltons Park; PPS), Dr John Hildyard (Camden; CSS), Dr Andrew Mead (Hawkshead, CBS) and Dr Esther Palomino Lago (Hawkshead, CSS).
