Summary

As a veterinary epidemiologist I specialize in dairy cattle infectious diseases and welfare. I received my veterinary medicine degree from Cairo University (1998), practiced for two years before completing the Food Animal Production Medicine Internship at the Caine Veterinary Teaching Center at the U of Idaho, followed by the Food Animal Reproduction and Herd Health Residency at U of California, Davis. I completed my masters and doctoral degrees at UC Davis in Preventive Veterinary Medicine and Epidemiology, respectively.

As a faculty member of the Dept. of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, UC Davis, I develop quantitative and epidemiological methods to advance the health, welfare and productivity of food animals. I am enthusiastic about teaching epidemiology to veterinary and graduate students.

The Dairy Epi Lab (Aly Lab) current research focuses on effectively surveying large populations, novel scoring systems, diagnostic strategies, and risk assessment development. Using such tools I collaborate with teams dedicated to calf and adult cow health, foodborne pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance.
