The problems I have worked on in animal science have direct implications for genetic selection, food quality (e.g. cow milk), and animal health. On the other hand, my work in understanding the structure and driving mechanisms of ecological (e.g. plant-pollinator) networks have indirect implications for ecosystem conservation, management, and restoration.
We a research-intensive laboratory focussed on improving human health, circadian biology, new treatments for heart disease, and our results are published in high impact journals.
