Research description
I am interested in the molecular genetics of inherited diseases of the dog and cat including inherited metabolic defects, endocrinopathies and cardiomyopathies. Recently I have been working on hyperparathyroidism in the keeshond and am also interested in the molecular basis of primary epilepsy in the keeshond dog and other dog breeds.
