The Veterinary Faculties of the University of Pretoria and Utrecht University recently prolonged their collaboration in learning, education and research for another five years by signing a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Collaboration between the two institutions has already been ongoing since 2000.
On that occasion on 16 March the scope of collaboration was further emphasised when Prof Anita Michel, Professor in Bacteriology in the Faculty's Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (DVTD) and Head of the WOAH Collaborating Centre in the department was also appointed as Visiting Professor at Utrecht University’s (UU) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Biomolecular Health Sciences (BHS), Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology.
Her appointment is based on the bovine tuberculosis (bTB) research she has been working on for many years together with Prof Victor Rutten of UU's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, her participation as a lecturer in the Tropical Animal Health elective course, her activities in the EU project ELEPHANT, as well as the supervision of a considerable number of UU and UP Master students and PhD candidates.
