Erin,Scott,Assistant Professor,"I am most interested in developing a career path in translational research, allowing me to bridge basic science findings to practical applications in the clinic in order to enhance the care and well-being of veterinary patients. As a comparative ophthalmologist, my professional interests are broadened by the wide variety of clinically-relevant ocular conditions encountered in canine, feline, equine and exotic animal species. This includes advancements in the treatment of cataracts, diseases of the retina, and pathogenesis of glaucoma with a strong emphasis in ocular pathology. By linking the clinical features of ocular disease with their associated histopathologic changes, I can provide a unique perspective in the interpretation and understanding of ocular disease processes in veterinary patients and their relevance to comparable human disorders.",Assistant Professor,Small Animal Clinical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n0e1819ff

Ramesh,Vemulapalli,Professor of Veterinary Pathobiology,"Dr. Vemulapalli's research is primarily focused on the development of recombinant vaccines against infectious diseases. One of the targets of his vaccine research is brucellosis, a bacterial zoonotic disease caused by certain members of the genus Brucella. Brucellosis is a great concern to public health in developing countries due to widespread prevalence of Brucella infections in livestock. In the US, reservoirs of Brucella infections in wildlife, such as bison, elk, and feral swine, continue to pose a threat to livestock industries and human health. The currently available brucellosis veterinary vaccines are neither efficacious in wild animals nor safe for human use. Dr. Vemulapalli has developed novel recombinant vaccine strains that showed dramatically enhanced vaccine efficacy against brucellosis in murine models. Testing these vaccines in domestic and wild animals is a goal of his research program. Research projects in his laboratory are aimed at 1) understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of Brucella species, 2) developing attenuated Brucella strains as vectors to deliver protective proteins of other pathogens and tumors, 3) developing recombinant subunit vaccines to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and 4) development of molecular diagnostics assays for infectious disease investigations.",Executive Associate Dean,School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n5889f585

Leslie,Adams,Senior Professor,"My research is focused on the: 1) investigation of the comparative molecular pathogenesis of zoonotic intracellular bacterial pathogens in natural animal models, particularly brucellosis, salmonellosis, and mycobacterial diseases; 2) development of vaccines and host gene expression-based diagnostics for zoonotic and select agent caused diseases, and especially 3) development of in silico host:pathogen interactome predictive models based upon bi-directional in vivo host (bovine/murine) and Brucella spp., Mycobacterium spp.and Salmonella enterica Typhimurium interactions. We developed an in silico computational infection biology model based on actuall temporal in vivo bovine model microarray-based transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of the acute infectious process. We developed a systems biology analysis of both host and pathogen comprehensive transcriptomic and proteomic datasets derived from our in vivo biological model. We computationally fused the datasets based on actual Salmonella, Brucella and Mycobacterium data and computationally predicted bovine host structural proteins to identify maximum likelihoods of host and pathogen protein:protein interactions as the basis for our preliminary in silico interactome model to predict mechanistic genes and linked perturbed cellular pathways.",Senior Professor,Veterinary Pathobiology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n75fee121

Joerg,Steiner,Professor,"My veterinary career has mainly focused on two aspects, patient care and clinically-relevant research. As a veterinary clinician and clinical teacher I am exposed to a wide variety of canine and feline patients with complex medical conditions. These patients serve as a constant source of new clinical problems that beckon to be studied further. Sometimes these studies are merely clinical, relating to characterization of an uncommon condition, diagnosis of a difficult-to-diagnose condition, or a novel therapeutic approach to a well-described condition. In other instances studies that are spurred by clinical cases are more basic-science based, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies to further evaluate the etiology or pathogenesis of a disease. In some instances, studies may provide comparative aspects related to experimental animals, such as rodents or primates, or even to human patients with similar conditions. I believe that my role as a mentor can be unique in that I can help graduate students bridge the gap between science and clinical aspects and between veterinary and human medical interests - giving us further opportunities to advance the concept of one-health.","Professor||Director, Gastrointestinal Laboratory",School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences||Small Animal Clinical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nf4de66a0

Kristin,Chaney,Clinical Associate Professor,"Dr. Chaney received her DVM degree from Colorado State University and joined the TAMU College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences in September 2014 as a clinical assistant professor. She shares an appointment between the Veterinary Integrative Biosciences department and the administrative Professional Programs Office. This unique position requires interactions across many different college departments and program-years of the veterinary curriculum in the areas of teaching, academic service, and scholarship. Dr. Chaney is board certified by both the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and the American College of Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care and uses this extensive post-graduate training in the development of creative and innovative learning opportunities for veterinary students in the pre-clinical DVM curriculum. From her publications in curriculum redesign, she is considered an expert and consults with veterinary programs across the U.S. regarding this process. She co-chairs the AAVMC Council for Outcomes-based Veterinary Education which developed an unprecedented framework for Competency-based Veterinary Education and published in the veterinary and medical education literature.
