Research in my lab aims to understand the fundamental aspects of programmed cell death and its role in immunobiology.

My research focuses on improving the health and welfare of dairy cattle through knowledge synthesis, primary research, and knowledge translation.

The ultimate goal of our research is to develop technology that helps to enable a shift of our carbon resource from fossil non-renewables (crude oil, natural gas and coal) to renewable biomass in form of agricultural and forestry byproducts such as corn stover, straws, wood chips and bark, etc.
