She worked briefly as a veterinarian, before starting a Master's degree in epidemiology. She earned her master's degree at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. She returned to the University of Bristol for her doctorate, where she studied the diseases of lambs in early lambing flocks. Research and career Green joined the University of Warwick in 1999, where she was made a Chair in 2005. Her research considers the endemic diseases of farmed livestock. She has investigated infectious diseases in cattle including Mycobacterium bovis (bovine tuberculosis), sheep (caseous lymphadenitis) and pigs (postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome). Green studied foot rot in sheep and used her findings to support farmers. She demonstrated that quick treatment with antibiotics can reduce lameness in sheep. Specifically, a single injection of antibiotics helped 95% of sheep. Her findings reduced the prevalence of foot rot by 50%, which is estimated to save the foot sheep industry £2 million a year. She has also investigated how farmers attitudes and personalities impacted their management of livestock. In 2014 Green was appointed Head of the School of Life Sciences.
