Singer E.R.

Ellen Singer graduated from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, after which she spent 3 years in general equine practice in the Northeast United States. Following a surgical residency and Doctor of Veterinary Science degree at the Ontario Veterinary College, Ellen spent time working at the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine in Israel. In 1995, Ellen joined the University of Liverpool where she was employed as a senior lecturer and a key member of the orthopaedics and surgery team for 22 years. Currently, Ellen is working as an orthopaedic and surgical consultant, while maintaining involvement in a number of research projects. Ellen has diplomate status in both the European and the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. Ellen’s main passions are surgery and the equine athlete. Her clinical interests are primarily lameness diagnosis and orthopaedic surgery, but she also loves colic surgery, the reason she became interested in being a surgeon in the first place. Ellen’s research interests are divided into clinical projects that address common problems in her orthopaedic patients, and more basic science projects that focus on the biomechanics of horse limbs and the response of bone to exercise. Ellen loves nothing more than figuring out why horses are lame and providing a practical and, hopefully, successful solution for the horse’s owners.
