Lauren Martin
PhD Researcher
Hi, I'm Lauren Martin, a 22-year-old PhD researcher from the small town of Coagh in Northern Ireland. My research focuses on Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) and understanding why some pigs and farms are more resilient to infection than others. Using microbiome, health and production data from commercial farms, I hope to uncover microbial and host factors that can improve pig health, welfare and productivity.
Project: Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV): understanding why some pigs and farms are more resilient to infection than others.
Outside the lab: A retired Irish dancer. Reading, learning tennis and piano, and time with family and friends.
