Biography

Professor Chiara Adami always had a keen interest for the Academic environment, where she based most of her career. She left her home country shortly after graduation and moved to Switzerland, where she became an European and American board-certified specialist in anaesthesia (ECVAA and ACVAA Diplomate), and was employed by the Vetsuisse University of Berne first as a Senior Training Scholar and, following, as Clinical Lecturer. In 2015, Professor Adami moved to the United Kingdom to start her new employment as Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Anaesthesia at the Royal Veterinary College (University of London).

Since 2021 she has been working at the University of Cambridge, where she is currently employed as Teaching Professor in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia. Her main research interests are acute and chronic pain management, nociceptive models and anaesthesia/analgesia of non-conventional animal species.
