Mr Kris Hughes

Graduated from the University of Sydney in 1995 and spent 3 years as an associate in a mixed-animal practice, before undertaking a residency in equine medicine at the University of Sydney between 1999 and 2003. In 2005, I took a position as senior lecturer in equine medicine at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Glasgow, where I was involved in a referral medicine service, clinical research and undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. After 2 Australian Ashes defeats while in the UK and enduring the British weather for 5 years, I returned to Australia in 2009 and am a senior lecturer in equine medicine at Charles Sturt University. My research interests include inflammatory disorders of the lower airways, diagnostic testing for metabolic and endocrine diseases, parasitology, neurology and intensive care of horses. I am a Fellow of the Australian and NZ College of Veterinary Scientists in Equine Medicine and a diplomate of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine.
