Sandra Wilsher BSc (Hons) PhD
Sandra spent a decade working in the British horse industry before undertaking a Biology degree, graduating three years later with a First Class Honours degree and the Dean’s Prize for the Best Science Student. She joined Professor Twink Allen’s Equine Fertility Unit (EFU) in worked until its closure in 2007. She has published over 35 papers in peerreviewed journals on fetal and maternal factors that govern the development and functions of the equine placenta, equine embryo transfer, and reproductive efficiency and wastage in the Thoroughbred racing industry. In addition, she has contributed to veterinary textbooks and presented at numerous conferences and workshops both in the UK and abroad to veterinary, scientific and lay audiences. While at the EFU she developed the Wilsher Equine Embryo Transfer Forceps which increased the non- surgically ET rates at the EFU significantly and are now produced commercially. Shortly after the EFU closed she joined Professor Allen at the Paul Mellon Laboratory of Equine Reproduction where she completed her PhD by Published Works and where she continues to work both on equine reproduction and, more recently, placentation and other aspects of reproduction in the giraffe, zebra and wildebeest. In addition, she advises and assists the two local equine veterinary practices with their embryo transfer
