Research Interests

  • My research interests are centered in the field of reproduction involving all domestic animals with an emphasis in the horse. As a member of the CREATE (Center for Reproductive Excellence using Advanced Technology and Endocrinology) Laboratory, we hope to stay on the forefront of clinical reproduction.
  • My other main research focus concerns the use of computers and information technology to enhance veterinary education for students and practitioners. Through the use of the Internet and multimedia CD programs, we hope to extend our contact with the veterinary profession.
