I have authored original research in veterinary pharmacology (primarily in the field of equine anti-arthritic drugs), veterinary pedagogy, and veterinary diagnostic imaging.

I teach undergraduate (primarily veterinary) students the basic sciences (anatomy, histology and physiology) in many parts of our integrated, body systems-based curriculums. I contribute to curriculum development and have responsibility for delivering teaching, both personally and by my colleagues.
