Research title: Comparative study of tropism and emergence of virulent companion animal viruses using AI-powered text mining
Research Summary
Currently I am in the early stages of a PhD project studying tropism and emergence of virulent companion animal viruses with the University of Glasgow under the supervision of Dr Maxwell Farrell. This project aims to apply Large Language Models to study the factors that allow viruses of companion animals to evolve from monotropic to pantropic infectious phenotypes. In addition, we are exploring the potential for the production of a veterinary research database which performs real-time text mining to produce networks of virus diagnostic and evolutionary associations.
