A love of science and animals, perseverance, and happenstance propelled my career in
veterinary virology and immunology. I have focused on deadly enteric and respiratory viral …

Rotaviruses (RVs) are a leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in young children and
livestock worldwide. Growing evidence suggests that host cellular glycans, such as histo …

Rotavirus live-attenuated vaccines, both mono-and pentavalent, generate broadly
heterotypic protection. B-cells isolated from adults encode neutralizing antibodies, some …

Rotaviruses are a significant cause of severe, potentially life-threatening gastroenteritis in
