Frederik W. van Ginkel, PhD

Dr. Frederik W. van Ginkel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathobiology.  He earned his B.Sc. degree in Biology in 1981 and his M.Sc. in Cellular Biology in 1984 at the Agricultural University in Wageningen, the Netherlands. He obtained a Ph.D. in Microbiology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 1993 after which he pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and joined the faculty there in 2000 as a Research Assistant Professor.  He moved to Auburn in 2004 where his research is focused on mucosal immunology and he is active in the training of graduate and professional students.

Research Interests

My research in the last few years has focused on mucosal immune responses in the respiratory tract of chickens to bacterial and viral pathogens and viral vectors.  In these models mucosal immunity in chickens was measured after mucosal exposure to respiratory pathogens, vaccines, or vaccine vectors.  These studies have focused on the Harderian glands and conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue as mucosal effector sites and are analyzing their importance in mucosal and systemic immunity and protection against avian pathogens.
