In her own words, “I’m most interested in contributing to CCBS as I believe that the most vital information pertaining to mammalian anomalies and health is yielded from analysis of the most genetically identical species to the human:  Canis familiaris, and the best reward of all the work is that it “gives back” to the dogs!”
