CENTERED ON BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE
Understanding animal and human health at the cellular level.
We’re focused on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the function of body systems during health and disease, including animal models of human diseases. There is a substantial representation of animal research in reproduction, clinical pharmacology, comparative immunology, and anesthesiology, owing to the unique availability of feral donkeys and African green monkeys in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.
MEET OUR CENTER DIRECTOR, HILARI FRENCH, DVM, PHD, DACT, DABVP (FOOD ANIMAL)
Center Director, Associate Professor of Theriogenology - Head of Large Animal Division
Dr. French leads this Center, driving integrated human and animal research initiatives across a broad range of primarily non-infectious disease research including anesthesia and pain management, immune regulation, gene function, reproductive disorders, neurology and animal behavior, and in vitro and in vivo models of noninfectious human and animal diseases.
Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach across research centers, our faculty experts are advancing the body of knowledge in the fields of pathology, immunology, anesthesiology and theriogenology.
CENTER FOR INTEGRATIVE MAMMALIAN RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS
We seek to understand the interconnectivity of basic cell biology, the immune system, and the delineation of body systems in health and disease.
From working to understand the innate immune role of TRIM proteins in bovine macrophages to assembling a network of collaborators from across the globe to explore innovative ways of improving animal welfare and fertility, our researchers are advancing animal and human health.
