Dr Dani Aberdein BVSc, LLB(Hons), MVS, PhD

Associate Professor - Veterinary Science

Doctoral Co-Supervisor
School of Veterinary Science

After initially qualifying and practising as a lawyer, I rethought my life, and completed my BVSc at Massey University in 2003. Following graduation I spent 2 years in small animal veterinary practice in New Zealand before returning to Massey in 2006 to complete a residency and Masters in anatomic veterinary pathology. During this time I also worked as a diagnostic laboratory pathologist for NZVP (now IDEXX). I completed my PhD in 2013 and have taught veterinary pathology (both clinical and anatomic) within the Pathobiology group at Tawharau Ora/School of Veterinary Science (SoVS) from 2011. My doctoral research identified a new and fatal inherited disease (now known as “FALPS”) in British shorthair cats which causes lymphocyte proliferation and various autoimmune abnormalities. Further work identified the causative genetic defect of FALPS and the development of a genetic test to identify carriers of the disease, which is now available to cat breeders and owners through Massey University. My current research interests include FALPS as well as diseases of cats and dogs more generally, particularly feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and lymphoma, as well as mastitis and mammary tumours.

I have been a member of the BVSc student selection (admiissions) commottee since 2019, BVSc5 (clinical year) lead since 2021 and part of the BVSc curriculum project team, tasked with implementation of a new competency-based veterinary curriculum, since 2022.  In 2023 I moved from Pathobiology to to the Veterinary Education group within Tawharau Ora (SoVS), with an expanded role in development and teaching of veterinatry professionalism within the new BVSc curriculum.
