Research and career
Green joined the University of Warwick in 1999, where she was made a Chair in 2005. [4] Her research considers the endemic diseases of farmed livestock. [5] [6] She has investigated infectious diseases in cattle including Mycobacterium bovis (bovine tuberculosis), sheep (caseous lymphadenitis) and pigs (postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome). [7] [8] Green studied foot rot in sheep and used her findings to support farmers. [9] She demonstrated that quick treatment with antibiotics can reduce lameness in sheep. [4] [10] Specifically, a single injection of antibiotics helped 95% of sheep. [11] [12] Her findings reduced the prevalence of foot rot by 50%, which is estimated to save the foot sheep industry £2 million a year. [13] She has also investigated how farmers attitudes and personalities impacted their management of livestock. [14] [15] In 2014 Green was appointed Head of the School of Life Sciences. She was made Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor at the University of Warwick in 2017. [16]
Green joined the University of Birmingham as Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Head of the College of Life and Environmental Sciences in 2018. [16] She serves on the advisory board of the Rural Economy and Land Use Programme. [17]
