WCVM Next Gen Scientists

Cat and Lucas sit down with #WCVM-based USask master's student Brook McKenna to discuss how her research could help scientists better understand, detect and even prevent preterm labour, a reproductive health issue that affects approximately eight per cent of births in Canada.

Suzana Grazielli Cortiano Stubert, a USask PhD student based in the WCVM Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, joins us in the pilot episode of WCVM Next Gen Scientists. Working in Dr. Matheus Costa's lab, Suzana's research focuses on swine health and infectious diseases, with a particular interest in swine dysentery caused by Brachyspira species. She is interested in understanding host-pathogen interactions and developing better tools for disease diagnosis and control.
