ServicesDuring my 4 years of veterinary school at Michigan State University, I had the privilege of working in Dr. Bowker’s Equine Foot Lab. I moved back to Colorado after vet school and continue to work on projects with Dr. Bowker and others in the Foot Lab.
I have posted a few research abstracts so you can see some of the studies I was involved with during my years at MSU. I presented preliminary findings from the laminar density, tubule density, and bone density papers at graduate student conferences. Summaries posted on the website have been written with minimal scientific jargon.
