Swine Group Labs

Almond Lab:
Our research program maintains a balance between basic science and clinical investigations. The research addresses specific concerns in the pork industry.
 
 
Baynes Lab:
Studies comparative pharmacokinetics and assesses dermal absorption.
 
 
 
 
Bonin-Ferreira Lab:
Studies swine health and production including infectious and non-infectious diseases, reproduction, epidemiology and management.
 
 
 
Comparative Gastroenterology Lab:
Studies maintenance and restoration of the intestinal barrier.
 
 
 
 
Crisci Lab:
Studies the innate immune responses during respiratory viral infections
 
 
 
 
Gadsby Lab:
Studies the interactions between immune and endocrine cells in the ovary, as it relates to the control of estrous cycles and pregnancy in the pig.

Gonzalez Lab:
Studies intestinal epithelial stem cells during injury and repair to aid in developing therapeutics that make the intestine more injury resistant and that hasten the epithelial regenerative response.
 
 
Kaeser Lab:
Studies the adaptive immune response and immunological memory for vaccine development in BMR + SHP.
 
 
 
Machado Lab:
Our team develops and applies epidemiological tools to investigate the occurrence and spread of animal infectious diseases, providing science-based support for decision making with regard to prevention and control.
 
Pairis-Garcia Lab:
Identifies alternative management practices and strategies to optimize swine health, welfare and productivity.
 
 
 
Piedrahita Lab:
Our lab is primarily interested in the behavior of stem and progenitor cells in vitro and in vivo, and the development of large animal models of use in human and veterinary regenerative medicine.
