Biography

Professor Quinn’s research has focused on strategies to improve livestock productivity and economic outcomes for Australian farming systems using innovative field and technology-based approaches. She investigates novel pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and management practices for the animal health industries designed improve productivity in Australian sheep and beef systems, both pre- and post-farm gate, and is the lead inventor on several awarded patents families.

Her research is extensively funded by Meat and Livestock Australia as well as and numerous industry partners. Through her role as Director of the Red Meat Innovation Centre she also creates opportunity for industry partnerships to achieve successful commercial outcomes through access to contract research services, project planning and design, and access to facilities and expertise in whole of value chain research.
