Research
My research focuses on studying the impact of expressing
antimicrobials in the mammary gland of dairy animals.
Transgenic goats expressing lysozyme in their milk are being
investigated as a means to improve animal and human health.
Current projects include lysozyme milk processing and
shelf-life, udder health and resistance to infection and the
impact of consuming lysozyme milk at the level of the
intestine. Work is also being conducted to improve the
efficiency of gene targeting in cells, thereby enabling gene
modification for a variety of applications including
transgenesis. In addition, studies on the relationship
between casein genotypes and milk quality are being carried
out in goats. Projcts
