Fiona Kenyon

Fiona is a principal research scientist at Moredun Research Institute in Scotland. Her research career started studying sheep scab mites before moving on to investigate drug resistance in malaria and then moving back to the world of small ruminants to research anthelmintic resistance in sheep. She is interested in how different  management and treatment strategies affect anthelmintic resistance, animal welfare and production and has been a major driver for the development of target selective treatment strategies in sheep. She has collaborations across Europe developing precision livestock farming through the EU funded Sm@rt and TechCare projects as well as leading research at Moredun investigating the impacts of grazing management strategy on parasites, epidemiology, animal welfare and production. She has received funding from a variety of sources including Scottish Government, BBSRC, NERC, EU and Innovate UK.
