معرفی
Rachael Hannah is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Her research specializes in lactation physiology and the impacts of heat stress on dairy cattle, examining epigenetic programming across generations. Dr. Hannah investigates mammary gland development, thermoregulatory adaptations, and metabolic responses to environmental stressors in bovines.
Her research interests focus on:
- Lactation physiology and mammary gland function
- Epigenetic effects of prenatal heat stress
- Transgenerational impacts on growth and development
- Thermal stress mitigation strategies in livestock
Recent publications predominantly explore heat stress physiology across multiple biological scales, from molecular epigenetics to whole-animal thermoregulation. Article themes cluster around: transgenerational inheritance of stress adaptations, metabolic and immune responses to hyperthermia, and novel cooling interventions for livestock welfare.
Dr. Hannah leads investigations into dairy cattle physiology without currently listed advisees. Her laboratory focuses on physiological responses to environmental challenges, employing molecular techniques alongside whole-animal metrics to assess welfare and productivity impacts.
