Research

Veterinary Biomedical Sciences

• Adams, Gregg
  Basic and applied aspects of reproductive science and medicine. Dr. Adams' current projects include the characterization of reproductive events in wapiti and white-tailed deer, ovulation-inducing factors in llamas and alpacas, factors influencing oocyte competence in cattle, and synchrotron-based biomedical imaging of reproductive tissues.
• Blakley, Barry
  Nutrition and immunotoxicology.
• Chicoine, Al
  Drug residues in food animals, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
• Dowling, Trisha
  Clinical pharmacology of antimicrobials and calcium channel blocking drugs.
• Ferrari, Maud
• Flood, Peter
  The ecophysiology of reproduction in ungulates, placental morphology, trace mineral nutrition and the pathogenesis of spongiform encephalopathies.
• Forsyth, George
  The activity of ion transport proteins involved in the pathology of diarrheal diseases and cystic fibrosis.
• Giesy, John
  Aquatic and wildlife toxicology related to endocrine disrupters and ecological risk assessment.
• Gupta, V. Sagar
• Hamilton, Don
  Physiological responses in the endurance horse.
• Hiebert, Linda
  Cardiovascular research, including the pharmacodynamics of orally administered heparins and related polyanions, and damage and protection of endothelial cells.
• Honaramooz, Ali
  Reproductive biology and technology, with emphasis on the study and manipulation of spermatogenesis and spermatogonial stem cells.
• Janz, David
  Interactions between physiological control and environmental alteration of developmental and reproductive processes in vertebrates.
• Livingston, Alex
• Loewen, Matthew
  Investigations of the mechanism and effects of calcium activated chloride channels as they modulate human and animal diseases.
• Machin, Karen
  Stress physiology and environmental impacts on physiology in wildlife (particularly avian species).
• MacPhee, Daniel
  Placental Development and Uterine Function during Pregnancy
• Muir, Gillian
  The changes in sensorimotor behaviour that occur during normal development or after central nervous system injury or disease.
• Oliphant, Lynn
• Rawlings, Norman
  Basic and applied aspects of the regulation of ovarian folliculogenesis in sheep, and reproductive maturation in beef cattle.
• Shewfelt, Rhonda
• Singh, Baljit
  Cell and molecular biology of lung inflammation. Dr. Singh's projects focus on mechanisms of neutrophil and monocyte migration into inflamed lungs, biology of pulmonary intravascular macrophages and environmental pulmonary toxicology.
• Singh, Jaswant
  The use and further development of the bovine model for the study of ovarian function in humans. Dr. Singh's current and past research has been directed towards studying the ultrasonographic, morphologic and biochemical kinetics of ovarian follicles to refine the bovine model.
• Sisodia, Chaturbhug
• Unniappan, Suraj
• Weber, Lynn
  The effect of environmental toxicants on the cardiovascular system in mammals and fish; the effects of glycemic index, obesity and second-hand tobacco smoke on cardiovascular function in dogs; and the effects of uranium mining effluents on fish cardiovascular development, swim performance and energy utilization.
• Wickstrom, Mark
  Effects of natural toxins, pesticides, metals and oil field emissions on immune function and DNA integrity in terrestrial wildlife and livestock.
