I'm a PhD candidate in cell and molecular biology (CEMB) program/ University of Arkansas. I'm working on BCO project, Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis in Dr. Rhoads lab. BCO is the common cause of lameness in broiler chicken. This project focuses on investigating the epidemiology and  progression of bacterial infection, mostly affects the proximal femur and tibia, the fast growing leg bones of broiler chickens.
