Dr. Rod Hill Research Focus:
I am a Master’s student studying
the application of nanomaterials in biological systems. My current
research focuses on the development of nanomaterial based platforms
for gene silencing and drug delivery. The aim of this research is to
better characterize specific genes
and
to improve the specificity
and effectiveness of drugs and biological molecules utilized in the
treatment of diseases like cancer. Email:

focus: My
research focuses on a measure of feed efficiency in cattle known
as residual feed intake (RFI). I am evaluating and quantifying
relationships between RFI and product quality in progeny of Red Angus
sires divergent for maintenance energy (ME) EPD and identifying
physiological drivers of variation in RFI. Email:welc1710@vandals.uidaho.edu
