Biography

She has done her Post-Doc in Immunology Neuroscience at University of Minnesota in 1999, and Ph.D. in Immunolgy / Behavior at Texas Tech University in 1994. Ultimately her goal is to increase our scientific knowledge of environmental adaptability of domestic animals and of minimizing stress in animal-production environments, thus improve animal well being, health and productivity of farm animals.
