Teaching I participate in the General and Systemic Pathology courses presented during the second year of the veterinary curriculum. Teaching involves lectures, laboratories, case-based discussions, and computer-assisted multimedia presentations. Research Our laboratory conducts research on bovine infectious diseases. Specific projects include investigation of virulence factors and immunogens of Mannheimia haemolytica and P. multocida and the host response to infection by these organisms.
