I am a veterinarian, completed my Master’s in Veterinary Public Health and Epidemiology at Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Andhra Pradesh-India. I have completed a research project on “Characterization of MDR Enterococcus species of animal, human and environmental origin with special emphasis on vancomycin resistance”, as a part of my Master’s thesis. I have hands-on experience in Microbiological techniques (isolation and identification of bacteria), Molecular Biology Techniques (DNA Isolation, RNA Isolation, Polymerase chain reaction), Basic immunological techniques, antimicrobial resistance characterization techniques (by PCR and qPCR), Bioinformatics (Genetic Diversity studies by ERIC and REP PCR techniques) and basic statistical techniques (SPSS and basics in R-studio).
Previously worked as a senior research fellow in the project titled “Modelling exposure to biological hazards in the dairy chains of Andhra Pradesh to inform food safety policy”. It was supervised by Javier Guitian and Dr. Tumati Srinivasa Rao (The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) and NTR College of veterinary science collaborated on the project.

My long-term research interests involve identifying pathophysiological outcomes, mediating mechanisms, blood-based biomarkers, and, potentially, safer GA alternatives for the intergenerational perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) in parents with pathophysiological conditions and the goal of this proposal is to help form a foundation for future laboratory and clinical studies of PND in young adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and ultimately help identify therapeutic strategies to alleviate such effects.

I completed my DVM degree in 2018 at the University of La Plata College of Veterinary Medicine in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After graduation, I worked for one year as a beef and dairy cattle veterinary practitioner, mostly doing reproductive and nutrition related activities. Then, in June 2019, I had the privilege of being accepted as a Research Scholar in the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Florida under the supervision of Dr. Klibs Galvão. After completing a year as a Research Scholar, I was accepted into the Animal Molecular and Cellular Biology Master of Science graduate program, also under the supervision of Dr. Galvão. I graduated from the master’s program in July 2021. Right upon graduation I was granted the admission to the PhD program in Veterinary Medical Sciences through the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine for Fall term 2021 under the guidance of Dr. Klibs Galvão. Since my arrival at the University of Florida as a Research Scholar, and currently during the PhD program I am working closely with Dr. Galvão aiming to develop a statistical model capable of predicting metritis in dairy cows

Brucellosis in Livestock in Rwanda, Africa Brucellosis is a disease that can cause abortion and reduced milk yield in cattle, as well as fever and chronic fatigue in humans. Socio-economic consequences of Brucella spp. infections include forced unemployment and cost of treatment in infected people, reduced family livestock-related income, as well as interruption of trade in animals and animal products. Vaccination or test-and-slaughter are cost-effective control interventions in high-income countries (e.g., USA). As part of my PhD research, I will assess and compare the costs and benefits of adopting control interventions (vaccination, test-and-slaughter, versus a status-quo scenario) to reduce the burden of brucellosis in livestock in Rwanda; a low-income country with 13 million people and 1.3 million cows. My research will inform policy makers on the socio-economic consequences of acting, or failing to act, on policy options of selected intervention scenarios in livestock populations in Rwanda.
