Research Interest Summary

My interests are focused on the effects of genetics on behavior and diseases in animal models. I currently am investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in Equine cervical vertebral malformations, while also researching the effects of Vitamin E supplementation on Alzheimer's Disease progression in a rat model of AD.

Research Interests

I strive to gain a better understanding of the genetic basis in behavior of companion animals, as well as the molecular role in genetic diseases. I have an avid passion for veterinary research and have been focusing specifically on equine genetics while dabbling in the genetic mechanisms behind Alzheimer's Disease.
