I have 16 years of experience, and specialize in the field of molecular virology with specific knowledge in the areas of avian pathogens, tumor biology and viral immunology. I have published on such topics as recombinant virus construction, viral gene regulation and vaccine testing. I have served as a consultant for several animal vaccine companies (Intervet, Merial, Embrex), as well as served on several grant review panels (USDA-NRI, NSF-EID) dealing with animal diseases and pathogen evolution.
