Research Interests
Fish Reproduction
Research Summary
My research program emphasizes molecular epidemiology, diagnostics and genetics of emerging pathogens. This work includes development of salmonid diagnostics in conjunction with the WSU and UofI Salmon Restoration Program and pursuit of vaccine candidates for bacterial coldwater disease (Flavobacterium psychrophilum). I have additional interests in environmental sampling of pathogens, evolution of antibiotic resistance in food animals, comparative genomics of food-borne pathogens, and immunology.
