The central area of my research is reproductive pathology, including fetal and neonatal pathology of ruminants. Inherited disorders and infections causes of abortion and perinatal disease has been a main research area for years. Research in inherited disorders has focused on a number of diseases, which have occurred in cattle worldwide, i.e. brachyspina syndrome, complex vertebral malformation (CVM), chondrodysplasia, spinal dysmyelination, and spinal muscular atrophy. My research has focused on morphology, inheritance and significance of many inherited disorders. I have a special interest in the pathogenesis and molecular basis of inherited disorders, which is studied through co-operation with molecular biologists and geneticists.
