Courtney,Baetge,Dr.,"Dr. Courtney Baetge received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M University in 2003. She then completed a private practice internship before returning to Texas A&M for her veterinary anesthesia residency. She was boarded by the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia in 2009 and founded the private consulting business of Anesthesia for Animals. Her consulting business has provided several unique opportunities such as teaching in the West Indies, anesthetizing multi-million dollar racehorses and consulting all over the United States. She returned to academia part-time in 2012 and joined the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at Texas A&M as a Clinical Assistant Professor full-time in 2015. Dr. Baetge is the section chief for the Veterinary Anesthesia department at the Texas A&M Veterinary Teaching Hospital and the course coordinator for the Anesthesia course on the VERO campus. Dr. Baetge provides anesthesia support to clinical and research patients as well as mentoring, rounds and training to students, interns, residents and graduate students. Dr. Baetge has served as a peer reviewer for several journals and is on the ACVAA exam committee. She provides collaborative support for multiple research projects including some with the NIH. Dr. Baetge also provides continuing education within the field of veterinary anesthesia and analgesia at the local and national levels while continuing to provide private consulting through her business.",Clinical Associate Professor,Small Animal Clinical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n07e96624

Mohammad,Khattab,Assistant Research Scientist,"Mohammad earned his BVSc from Cairo University, Egypt, and started his career as an Instructor in Veterinary Internal Medicine. He then received his MVSc in Large Animal Internal Medicine and his PhD in Small Animal Internal Medicine from the same University, where he served as Assistant Professor.
Mohammad is leading the Metabolomics Lab at the Gastrointestinal Laboratory in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University.
At Texas A&M, Mohammad started research on the gut microbiome and microbial therapy with an emphasis on the immunological and metabolic interactions between host and gut microbiota. He has developed state-of-the-art flow cytometry protocols for the identification of fecal microbiota and estimation of IgA coated microbiota, as well as a novel protocol for discriminating microbiota based on viability.
I'm running research projects to measure different microbiota-related metabolites and studying their correlations with specific gut microbiota. Like Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA), targeted Bile Acids, Sterols, Fatty Acids, MMA, NMH and other targeted and non-targeted metabolites. We are investigating these metabolites in fecal samples, urine, and serum of dogs and cats, in addition to in-vitro experiments and models from gnotobiotic mice and other biological samples.",Assistant Research Scientist,Small Animal Clinical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n0a16e1d7

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

Mauricio,Loria Lepiz,Clinical Associate Professor,"The majority of my teaching duties take place within the Anesthesia service, which provides anesthetic support to the Large Animal Hospital, Small Animal Hospital, and Diagnostic Imaging and Cancer Treatment Center. I lead small group rounds on basic and advanced topics in anesthesia with students and house officers, as well as one-on-one direction in hands-on application and troubleshooting of anesthetized patients of all species. My focus is on the principles of how to anesthetize, maintain and recover animals undergoing diagnostics and surgery for a wide variety of medical conditions. I also teach in related areas such as pain management, acid base balance, and cardiovascular and respiratory physiology. Formal course assignments include lecturing to 2VM and 3VM students, and most recently, serving as course coordinator for our primary anesthesia course (VSCS 930). As a native Spanish speaker, I also enjoyed serving as an instructor in our medical Spanish communication course. All activities listed in this section occur within the CVM at TAMU.

Jacqueline,Davidson,Clinical Professor,"As a clinical-track full-professor, my appointment is designated to be approximately 70% clinical service, 10% teaching, 10% service, and 10% scholarly activity. The instructional effort is a combination of clinical, didactic and laboratory instruction of professional students, interns and residents. The service effort includes all non-student teaching and non-scholarly related activities required to enable and enhance the activities of the department, hospital, school and university. The scholarly activity effort includes publishing book chapters, case reports, journal articles, and presenting continuing education programs that demonstrate my clinical expertise and experience with large numbers of cases.
My clinic time was divided between the soft tissue and orthopedic surgery services through 2015. For the first five years, I also taught for several weeks each year on the general surgery service. I directed the physical rehabilitation service from 2009 until 2018. Since 2015, my clinical appointment has been with the soft tissue surgery service, including the surgical oncology service when it was established in 2017.",Clinical Professor,Small Animal Clinical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n54aa325a

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
