Dr Attipa is an Associate Professor of Veterinary Clinical Pathology at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and The Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh. He is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists and an RCVS-recognised Specialist in Veterinary Clinical Pathology. He was subsequently awarded a Wellcome Trust Clinical PhD Fellowship at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, where his research focused on the role of neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in paediatric cerebral malaria in Malawi and in sepsis, using omics approaches in clinical samples, ex vivo cell models and mouse models.

His primary research interest is understanding how abnormal granulopoiesis and NET formation shape immune responses during severe and chronic infections. He currently leads research projects in Malawi investigating malaria and zoonotic infections, and more recently has led work on the outbreak of feline coronavirus in Cyprus. Dr Attipa has authored and co-authored several publications in international peer-reviewed journals, including Nature and Nature Medicine, and has presented his work at numerous international conferences.
