dogs with cancer, the potential role of omega-3 fatty acids in preventing weight loss in tumor-bearing animals,and the possible involvement of folate deficiency in the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma in cats.Amy Grooters, D.V.M.Associate Professor, Department of Veterinary Clinical SciencesLSU School of Veterinary Medicineagrooters@vetmed.lsu.eduResearch Interests:Dr. Grooters is an Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at Louisiana StateUniversity, and serves as chief of the companion animal medicine service. She completed residency training insmall animal internal medicine at The Ohio State University in 1993, and taught small animal internal medicine atthe University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine for two years before joining the faculty at LouisianaState University in 1995. Dr. Grooters is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine,specialty of Internal Medicine. Her clinical and research interests include pythiosis, lagenidiosis, zygomycosis,and molecular mycology.Karin E. Peterson, Ph.D.Assistant Professor, Department of Pathobiologica SciencesLSU School of Veterinary Medicinekpeterson@vetmed.lsu.eduResearch Interests:Dr. Peterson's primary research interest is studying the role of the host response in viral pathogenesis. Currentresearch in the laboratory is focused on the contribution of the innate immune response to retrovirus-inducedneurological disease, with a concentration on the involvement of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines andtoll-like receptors. Experimental procedures in the laboratory include real-time PCR, RNAse Protection Assayand in situ hybridization analysis of gene expression, the use of retroviral vectors and neural stem cells for in vivogene expression, and the use of knockout mice to study the contribution of specific genes during retroviralneuropathogenesis.Daniel J. Burba, DVM, DACVSProfessor of Equine Surgery, Equine Health Studies ProgramLSU School of Veterinary Medicinedjburba@vetmed.lsu.eduResearch Interests:Dr. Burba’s research interests are clinical based specifically relating to the horse. His approach to research is toanswer questions relating to problems that are encountered relating to surgical techniques or approaches bylooking at the application of human surgical techniques or instrumentation to equine surgery.Dr. Burba also has an interest in equine arthritis, specifically medications used in its treatment. This may includepharmacokinetics as well as interactions.18
Ann M. Chapman, D.V.M.Visiting Assistant Professor of Veterinary MedicineLSU School of Veterinary Medicineachapman@vetmed.lsu.eduResearch Interests:Dr. Chapman’s research has focused on the epidemiology of Salmonella infection in horses. The work hasexamined various horse populations including Louisiana racehorses and hospitalized horses at the Louisiana StateUniversity, Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Clinics. Dr. Chapman has also compared molecular andmicrobiologic methods of Salmonella detection, to improve our understanding of the diagnostic value of thesetests.Dale Paccamonti, D.V.M., M.S., DACTProfessor of Theriogenology, Department of Veterinary Clinical SciencesLSU School of Veterinary Medicinepacc@lsu.eduResearch Interests:Dr. Paccamonti’s research interests include ovulation and luteolysis in mares, mare infertility, placentitis, assistedreproduction in horses and processing stallion semen for fresh cooled and frozen use. Current studies involvemodifying the time of ovulation to facilitate breeding management, methods to advance the onset of cyclicity intransitional mares, investigating the physiology of abortion in an experimental model of placentitis and examiningthe effects of centrifugation on stallion semen.Ashley Stokes, D.V.M., Ph.D.Assistant Professor, Department of Veterinary Clinical SciencesLSU School of Veterinary Medicineastokes@lsu.eduResearch Interests:Dr. Stokes’ research field of interest is in veterinary physiology with a focus on the examination of equinelaminitis pathophysiology using physiological monitoring and molecular biological techniques.Stephania A. Cormier, Ph.D.Assistant and Adjunct Assistant ProfessorDepartment of Biological Sciences and Pathobiological SciencesLSU School of Veterinary Medicinescormier@lsu.eduResearch Interests:Dr. Cormier’s laboratory is interested in the study of the immune and pathophysiological response to variousenvironmental insults (including respiratory viral infections, particulate pollution, and allergens) in neonates andtheir link to the development of adult asthma. The immediate goal of her research is to determine if exposureduring early neonatal life to these environmental factors leads to predisposition, development of, or exacerbationof allergic respiratory disease in the adult. Dr. Cormier is exploring the validity of this hypothesis byaccomplishing the following: (1) determine if such exposures initiate pathophysiologic changes in the developingpulmonary microenvironment; (2) elucidate the cellular and molecular events initiated in response to such insults;and (3) resolve how these events lead to pulmonary and/or immune dysfunction in adults. The overall objective isto realize the initiators of the immune and/or pathophysiological changes that occur during the early stages ofpulmonary airways disease and ultimately to understand the fundamental causes of asthma so that more effectiveinterventions and therapies may be developed.19
