Scientific Interests and Future Ambitions
The major emphasis of my research has concerned diagnosing mammary gland inflammations (acute phase proteins, milk pH, milk cytology, milk microbiology, etc.) in dogs, cats and other exotic animals. Currently I`m involved in small animal anesthesia and pain management.
In summary, major research interests including:
- I have experience in anesthesia for small animals (cats and dogs), pain management, ICU care, and publishing case reports on innovative small- or hard-tissue techniques. Currently, I am engaged in two major projects: one researching the pathogenic E. coli in bitches with pyometra, and another focused on diagnosing inflammations in jennies.
Scientific achievements
Projects:
- Principal Investigator of the project entitled “Diagnostic de laborator în inflamaţiile mamare la căţele aflate în lactaţie [Laboratory diagnostic of mammary gland inflammations in lactating bitches]”.
