Graduate students

​Delaney Sarantopulos

 

Education:

B.S. Animal Science with a minor in Biological Sciences, California State University, Chico

 

Delaney joined the lab in spring 2024. Her MS research explores pulmonary immune function and health of dairy calves associated with exposure to elevated particulate matter from wildfire smoke. 

Mike Kamyabi

 

Education:

DVM, Islamic Azad University

 

Mike joined the lab in fall 2023 and is working on his MS. Mike is studying effects of poor air quality from wildfire smoke on the pulmonary immune system and pulmonary function in dairy cows.

Adamarie Marquez Acevedo
 
Education:
B.S. Animal Science and Global Resource Systems with a minor in Agronomy, Sustainability,              and Animal Ecology, Iowa State University
M.S. Animal Physiology, University of Idaho


Ada joined the lab in spring 2021 as an MS student and completed her thesis research on the cellular response to heat stress in lactating dairy cattle. She is continuing her academic journey as a PhD student studying impacts of environmental stressors on mitochondrial function and genetic tools for improving heat tolerance in dairy cattle.

Alexandra Pace

 

Education:

B.S. Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

 

Alex joined the lab in fall 2021 and is working on her PhD. Her research is focused on understanding the impacts of wildfire smoke exposure on dairy cow health and production, and dairy calf health and growth.

Dr. Chloe Josefson

Education: 
Ph.D. Biological Sciences, Auburn University
B.S. Biology, University of South Florida
B.A. Psychology, University of South Florida 

Chloe joined the lab as an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in spring 2020. She is broadly interested in the physiological costs of reproduction in female mammals and the evolution of life history tradeoffs. She is studying mechanisms underlying variation in maternal investment in lactation and consequences for offspring growth and immune development.
