Peter is the deputy head of the world animal health information and analysis department at the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). He joined the organization in March 2019. In his current role, he keeps oversight of international reporting and analysis of animal health information on listed and emerging diseases from across the world, and works closely with partner organisations (WHO, FAO and others) in monitoring disease threats affecting animal and public health.
