Jose Cibelli, DVM, PhD
Professor
Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences
cibelli@msu.edu
The Cellular Reprogramming Laboratory works toward understanding how cellular reprogramming works at the molecular level. Lab members use this knowledge to generate isogenic—fully immune compatible—stem cells, and to improve the efficiency of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).

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.

Janeen Salak-Johnson, MS, PhD
Professor and Meadow Brook Chair
Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences
john8880@msu.edu
The Salak-Johnson Laboratory is primarily dedicated to enhancing our understanding of maternal-fetal interactions concerning stress responsiveness, the microbiome-brain-immune axis, and the future progeny's well-being. This is achieved through a whole-animal biological approach that integrates elements from both basic and translational sciences, aiming to optimize the health and well-being of progeny through maternal modulation either in utero or post-natal. The long-term objective of the Lab is to advance scientific knowledge by implementing strategies that align with the One Health Mission, particularly focusing on goals #3 (Good Health and Well-being) and #12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

Karilyn E. Sant, MPH, PhD
Associate Professor
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology
santkari@msu.edu
Dr. Sant is a developmental toxicologist, specializing in environmental determinants of adverse birth outcomes and juvenile metabolic diseases. Namely, she examines how exposures to compounds impact endocrine systems, including the pancreas. She studies emerging environmental contaminants, namely surface and drinking water pollutants, using in vitro and zebrafish models. Dr. Sant has received funding from diverse federal, state, and foundation sources and has collaborators spanning across the public health, pharmaceutical, and wildlife veterinary (conservation) fields.
