The College of Veterinary Medicine is hosting the 32nd Annual Phi Zeta Research Day at Michigan State University. The college sponsors this colloquium to foster interactions in research and scholarship between students and faculty within the College, as well as with other colleges and departments on the MSU campus.
The program this year features poster and oral presentations, as well as an address from Kathryn Dalton, who is the intramural research training award postdoctoral fellow for the Genetics, Environment and Respiratory Disease group of the Epidemiology Branch of Environmental Health Sciences at the National Institutes of Health.
Dalton graduated from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Department of Environmental Health and Engineering with a Ph.D. in exposure science and environmental epidemiology. Additionally, she holds an MPH with a concentration in infectious disease and food safety, also from the Bloomberg School, and a VMD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Dalton studies how environmental exposures impact both human and animal health through the mechanism of the microbiome or different microbial communities including the unique microbial communities of animals. Specifically, Dalton wants to determine how those different exposures impact health outcomes.
The MSU College of Veterinary Medicine realizes the importance of biomedical research for the advancement of science, animal and public health, and the veterinary profession.
