Maureen Carolyn Gates is an American–New Zealand academic veterinarian, and is a full professor at Massey University. She specialises in evidence-based solutions for animal health problems, and has been recognised for developing innovative teaching methods.
Academic career
[edit]Before entering private practice, Gates completed her undergraduate veterinary degree at the University of Pennsylvania.[1] Gates then completed a PhD titled Controlling endemic disease in cattle populations: current challenges and future opportunities at the University of Edinburgh in 2014, supervised by Mark Woolhouse.[2] Gates worked in veterinary surveillance at Texas A&M University, and joined the faculty of Massey University in 2015 as a lecturer, rising to full professor in 2023.[3]
Gates is interested in researching evidence-based solutions to animal problems. She has worked on the surveillance and eradication of bovine viral diarrhoea virus, for which she conducted a nationwide survey. She has also co-developed a platform for sharing information about backyard poultry, and has commented on the threat that foot-and-mouth disease poses to New Zealand production.[4][5][6][3] Gates has also been recognised for her teaching, having developed blended learning and peer learning approaches for clinical education for veterinary students.[3]
Honours and awards
[edit]Gates was awarded the 2018 Massey University Early Career Research Medal, and the International Society for Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics Emerging Scientist Award.[7] She also won the 2022 Prime Minister's Educator of the Year Award, awarded by Ako Aotearoa.[7]
