Cohen joins the ranks of just 306 Texas A&M system faculty members to be […]
Livestock Physiology Specialist Thomas Welsh Named Regents Professor
Dr. Thomas Welsh, a jointly appointed professor in the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was named a Regents Professor, an honor given to just 306 Texas A&M University System faculty members since the award was established in 1996. “In his 40 years of […]
Dairy Cattle Production Specialist Joins VERO Faculty At Texas A&M’s Canyon Campus
Many people who work in the agriculture industry have a farming background; others find their way to this community through their love for animals, science, or, sometimes, both. Despite growing up in rural Ohio, Dr. Michael Kleinhenz’s family didn’t own a farm. But that didn’t stop him from discovering a love for dairy cows at […]
Texas A&M Researchers Contribute To International Project Studying Coronavirus Transmission In Humans, Cattle
Researchers from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ (VMBS) Veterinary Education, Research, & Outreach (VERO) program have joined an international team studying how coronaviruses are spread and whether an individual’s microbiome (the collection of microbes living in or on the body) might impact that transmission. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses […]
Consuming Flavonoids Helps Fight Symptoms Of Endometriosis, Texas A&M Researchers Find
The compounds commonly found in apples, broccoli, berries, tea, onions and red wine show promise in easing inflammation. Researchers at Texas A&M University’s School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have found a correlation between a compound found in fruits and vegetables and a reduction in the symptoms of endometriosis. In an article published […]
