Research
Interests:
My research focus has been primarily on genetic diseases of animals,
especially those that are spontaneous models of similar human genetic
diseases. The specific diseases studied include lysozyme deficiency of
rabbits, Chediak-Higashi syndrome in multiple species, tyrosinemia in
mustellids, familial canine dermatomyositis, ovine GM-1 gangliosidosis,
canine Hunter syndrome, and others. Approaches utilized have included
genetic, morphologic, biochemical, immunologic and pathologic.
