The beauty of research is that you not only manage to answer the questions you set out to but you are also presented with the opportunity to answer questions you discover along the way. Today, we are joined by Dr. Abigail Michelson, a third-year resident in laboratory animal medicine with a special interest in primates and rabbits. We discuss her recent research project that attempted to evaluate a new therapeutic approach to C Bovis-affected mice. Tuning in, you'll hear all about Dr. Michelson's career, her research project's hypothesis, the team involved, the results of the study, and more! We delve into the challenges associated with skin microbiome before talking about the limitations of Dr. Michelson's study. Finally, our guest shares some advice for anyone who needs to select stock for their studies. Thanks for listening in!
