From the early work of Dr. Charles Allen Cary more than a century ago, to the development of some of the world's most advanced veterinary programs, Auburn has influenced the character and scope of veterinary medicine.
The country's seventh oldest veterinary school and the oldest in the South, Auburn today boasts one of the nation's preeminent institutions for research, teaching, diagnosis, and treatment in many specialties of small and large animal medicine.

Research InterestsMy research interests are centered mainly around investigating cell mediated immune responses to infectious diseases with an emphasis on parasite infections. I enjoy working on all vertebrate species, especially non-domestic species. I also have a strong interest in clinical immunology, evaluating immune systems in animals where primary or secondary immunodeficiencies are suspected.
