Dr. Lesa Thompson
Hokkaido University alumna Dr. Lesa Thompson is a Regional Project Officer at the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), Regional Representation for Asia and the Pacific (RRAP) office in Tokyo. Here, she talks about the OIE, Hokkaido University’s Research Center for Zoonosis Control and her days as a student at the Graduate School of Veterinary Science.
I first met some students and professors from Hokkaido University’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine who were visiting the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at the University of Edinburgh. When I found out that their One Health PhD course was open to international applicants, I applied. During my course, I did two internships. One of them was with the OIE RRAP office, where I now work full-time.
