Biography

Lorenzo obtained his veterinary degree at the University of Turin, Italy in 2006. He worked for two years in a farm animal practice in the Turin area and subsequently completed a 2-year internship in Production Animal Health at the University of Glasgow, followed by a residency programme in the European College of Bovine Health Management Diploma. He is currently a diplomate of the ECBHM and is working as University Veterinary Clinician here at Glasgow.  Lorenzo currently divides his time between clinical work, teaching and research. He is interested in all aspects of cattle health, production and welfare, and is actively involved in research in transition cow management, dairy cow reproduction, udder health, antimicrobial use, and precision technology and sensors use in farming.
