Dr Silke Kleefeld, Research & Studies Coordinator
Dr Silke Kleefeld obtained a PhD in Natural Sciences with the German Polar and Marine Research Institute in Bremen, Germany, in 1996 and came to Ireland in 1998 to work as a researcher at the National University in Ireland, Galway. She worked for over ten years as technical support within the area of Biomedical and Pharmacological Research and is now Senior Technical Officer within the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at the University of Galway. As a horse and dog lover, Silke was looking for alternative health methods to support her Connemara pony George and her dog Pippin. She came across Applied Zoopharmacognosy and consequently completed the Foundation and Masterclass Levels with us. This has triggered her interest in researching more about the mechanisms of how herbs help the body to heal and so joined the Team! Her current area of interest is exploring the scientific background of Zoopharmacognosy and more specifically, assessing the recovery rate of horses when given the opportunity to self-select herbal extracts post-race. |
