His research leverages omics technologies and molecular techniques to study equine placentitis (ascending and nocardioform types), placental biology, and maternal recognition of pregnancy. Recent work includes proteomic identification of serum biomarkers for placentitis and transcriptomic analysis of placental immune networks.
The 15 most recent articles highlight trends in equine placental immunology, microbiome characterization, galectin signaling, and antioxidant applications in reproduction. These span transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenetics in horses and mouse models.
