Robert Fowkes, BSc, PhD, PGCert, FHEA
Chair
Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences
fowkesg2@msu.edu

The Endocrine Signaling Group, run by Fowkes, works on the mechanisms underlying disorders that affect the pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid in humans, cats, and dogs. The Lab uses patient samples from the clinic to examine gene expression changes in endocrine tumors and in vitro models to understand hormone signaling pathways in these tissues.

Viviane Gomes, DVM, PhD, DACT
Assistant Professor
Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences
leitegom@msu.edu

The Gomes Laboratory research interests lie on comparative pregnancy physiology and fetal programming, with focus on adverse cardiovascular, metabolic, and reproductive outcomes in offspring prenatally exposed to maternal obesity and hypertension. Aligned with the One Health approach, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, researchers utilize mouse, dog, and horse animal models to investigate how the intrauterine environment may affect the health of future generations.
