My research interests and expertise are in regenerative medicine and improving equine field medicine practice, and my research seeks to better understand regenerative medicine modalities' clinical performance and to improve equine field medicine by evaluating clinical practice questions through research. My clinical focus is equine preventative medicine, management of equine metabolic diseases, and ophthalmology. As an educator I seek to promote mental health and wellness in the veterinary profession.

My research focuses on the genetics of complex traits in livestock, multi-omics prediction, and the genome-by-microbiome interaction.

Emerging diseases, immune development and sex differences in ruminants; development/assessment of herd level preventative measures for infectious disease.

Research interests: Animal Behavior, Neurobiology, Stress Physiology, Human-Animal Interactions, Ecological Medicine, Green Care, Care Farming

I am a veterinarian with epidemiology and biostatistical training and my specialty where I practice my training is in dairy cattle health and welfare. My lab, the Dairy Epi Lab

My primary research focus is the critical neonate and broodmare, with a particular interest in periparturient conditions of the mare and foal, and hemolytic and hemorrhagic disorders and advances in treatment. I'm also interested in equine gastrointestinal conditions and renal disease.

Adaptation to environmental challenges, animal behavior, energy metabolism, endocrinology, cell biology

Aquaculture, aquacultural engineering, cultivation systems, recirculation systems, protected species conservation, hatchery operations, animal behavior, water quality management, sperm, reproduction, nutrition, machine learning, and computational fluid dynamics

Research focuses on developing and applying epidemiological tools to monitor food safety hazards and identify mitigation strategies to reduce the dissemination of foodborne pathogens in pre-harvest and the spread of infectious diseases in agricultural systems (including integrated crop-livestock, diversified, organic farms, small-scale and backyard farms).
