Comparative Inflamation Study Group

The central theme of our research group is comparative inflammation. We study, and compare, the mechanisms involved in inflammatory diseases in a variety of species. This approach allows us to identify commonalities and differences in the, and diverse, ways differentthese species deal with inflammatory problems. Our group has members withhave academic homes in several departments and programs, including: Large Animal Medicine, Small Animal Medicine, Food Animal Health and Management, Physiology and Pharmacology, as well as Anatomy and Radiology. Because of our diverse backgrounds,As a result, we integrate our collaborative work acrossis informed by many scientific disciplines, and we value this integrated approach. Our investigations into the topic of inflammation are relevant toThere are many areas of disease and health impacted by our focus on inflammation –- laminitis, endotoxemia, colic, neonatal immune development, and vaccine development and assessment. We are also focused on improving the instruction of veterinary students, using new tools and methods, and bringing these advances to science education in general.
