Dr. Pighetti’s research aims to improve dairy cow health, productivity, and milk safety by providing solutions for controlling mastitis – an inflammation of the mammary gland commonly caused by infection. Her research primarily focuses on identifying genetic markers that can be used not only for selection, but also determining the functional mechanisms that contribute to greater susceptibility. With this knowledge, we can determine critical control points that can be targeted for new strategies against mastitis. She also collaborates with other members of the department to develop new candidates for vaccines against mastitis, as well as minimize the impacts of stress on immunity and disease resistance.
