About the Lab

We are a small, young and energized lab looking to do great science while having fun and being good citizens. 

We are a diverse lab that integrates skills from many disciplines, including: epidemiology, veterinary medicine, computer science, molecular biology and statistics.

We cherish diversity -- of thoughts, backgrounds, experiences, skills and opinions.  We encourage (even relish!) respectful debate, and we value each others' quirks. 

We believe that livestock animals are an essential and valuable part of our local and global society, and we use scientific discovery to advance livestock production in a "win-win" manner --  to benefit animals, humans and the planet. 
 
We conduct research to address critical challenges in public health, livestock production and veterinary medicine.

WE VALUE:

Honesty

Integrity

Curiosity

Respect

Diversity

Critique

Mistakes

Disagreement

Opinions

Balance

Transparency

IN THE LAB, WE:

Work hard

Have fun

Do meticulous science

Help each other

Challenge ourselves and each other

Respect everyone (including pathogens & animals)

Communicate well and often

Maintain transparency and reproducibility

Debate vigorously

Recognize bias (scientific and otherwise)

We are looking for students who are hard working, enthusiastic, and willing to learn new things.
 
If this resonates with you and you are interested in joining our team, we would love to hear from you.
