Research
The long-term goal of the research in my laboratory is to determine the mechanism(s) responsible for rumen development. A specific goal is to understand the role butyrate plays at the molecular level in this process. Research interests include:
- Development of a cell culture system to study rumen epithelial cell differentiation in vitro
- Isolation and characterization of cDNA clones of genes undergoing differential expression during rumen development
- Determination of the mechanisms regulating gene expression in the developing rumen
