Cristine Camp joined the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in February, 2013 as a research assistant. She completed her B.S. at Auburn University in 2010 and since then, has acquired a versatile background applying qPCR to investigate differences in gene expression on many different grants, interdepartmental collaborations, and using various biological research models. Specifically, past projects of interest include: oxidative stress signaling in mammalian models responding to novel MRI synthetics and attempts to attenuate cardiotoxicity in chemotherapy drugs, monitoring bacterial biofilm development and infectious disease progression, and inflammatory and apoptotic pathway markers responding to emerging environmental contaminants in exposed mammalian and aquatic models. It has been a great pleasure for her to work closely with several veterinary professional, PhD, graduate, and undergraduate students interested in stepping into scientific research and when not in the lab, Cristine enjoys spending her time most making memories with her family, lap swimming at the University Aquatics Center, gardening, and long-distance running.
