Gates is interested in researching evidence-based solutions to animal problems. She has worked on the surveillance and eradication of bovine viral diarrhoea virus, for which she conducted a nationwide survey. She has also co-developed a platform for sharing information about backyard poultry, and has commented on the threat that foot-and-mouth disease poses to New Zealand production.[4][5][6][3] Gates has also been recognised for her teaching, having developed blended learning and peer learning approaches for clinical education for veterinary students.[3]
