Researchers in our department investigate the physiology and pharmacology of cells, protein interaction, relationships between receptors, and viruses at the molecular level. Our molecular genetics lab studies the role of RNA structures and gene splicing in order to correct human genetic diseases. A large portion of our faculty studies molecular and cellular pharmacology, with a focus on identifying nematode response to drugs on ion channels in an attempt to control for disease in animals and humans in the developing world. Our department has labs devoted to the study of neurodegenerative diseases, and they focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind those diseases and the development of treatment strategies.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"paragraph-widget paragraph-widget--text-html\"><div class=\"text-content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Researchers<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/code.jquery.com\/jquery-1.11.3.min.js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/js\/theme.js\"><\/script>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/css\/person.css\" \/>\n<div class=\"view view-directory view-id-directory view-display-id-page_show_images views-table-responsive views-table-overflow iastate22-table text-content add-directory-buttons\" >\n<table \n\tid=\"dirinfo-table\"\n\tname=\"dirinfo\" \n\tclass=' full-width directory table-bordered table-striped iastate22-table text-content '\n\tstyle='border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;'\n\tsummary=\"Table for dirinfo\"\n\t>\n\t<thead>\n\t<tr class='dark-title'><th id='th_netid as picture' class='th_netid as picture views-field-field-picture'  >Picture<\/th><th id='th_field_last_name' class='th_field_last_name field_last_name_q'  >Name<\/th><th id='th_field_first_name' class='th_field_first_name '  >Title<\/th><th id='th_field_degrees' class='th_field_degrees '  >Phone<\/th><th id='th_field_professional_title' class='th_field_professional_title '  >Email<\/th><th id='th_field_phone' class='th_field_phone '  >Room<\/th>\n\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<td class='td_picture  views-field-field-picture'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/images\/Beck_Joshua_R_web.jpg\" width=\"67\" height=\"100\" alt=\"\"><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_last_name  field_last_name_q'><a class='' href='https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/info\/jrbeck'>Joshua R Beck<br\/>PhD<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_professional_title  '>Associate Professor<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_phone  '>515-294-8293<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_email  '><a href=\"mailto:jrbeck@iastate.edu\">jrbeck@iastate.edu<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_room  '>2086 Patterson<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<td class='td_picture  views-field-field-picture'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/images\/Carlson_Steve_web.jpg\" width=\"67\" height=\"100\" alt=\"\"><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_last_name  field_last_name_q'><a class='' href='https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/info\/stevec'>Steve Carlson<br\/>DVM, PhD<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_professional_title  '>Associate Professor<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_phone  '>515-294-0912<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_email  '><a href=\"mailto:stevec@iastate.edu\">stevec@iastate.edu<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_room  '>2028 Patterson<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<td class='td_picture  views-field-field-picture'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/images\/Cho_Michael_web.jpg\" width=\"67\" height=\"100\" alt=\"\"><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_last_name  field_last_name_q'><a class='' href='https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/info\/mcho'>Michael Cho<br\/>PhD<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_professional_title  '>Professor<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_phone  '>515-294-6449<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_email  '><a href=\"mailto:mcho@iastate.edu\">mcho@iastate.edu<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_room  '>2022 Patterson<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<td class='td_picture  views-field-field-picture'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/images\/Choudhary_Shivani_web.jpg\" width=\"67\" height=\"100\" alt=\"\"><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_last_name  field_last_name_q'><a class='' href='https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/info\/shivani'>Shivani Choudhary<br\/>PhD, MPH (Veterinary Public Health), BVSc<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_professional_title  '>Assistant Professor<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_phone  '>515-294-2451<\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_email  '><a href=\"mailto:shivani@iastate.edu\">shivani@iastate.edu<\/a><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_room  '>Patterson<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<td class='td_picture  views-field-field-picture'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/images\/Greenlee_M._Heather_West_web.jpg\" width=\"67\" height=\"100\" alt=\"\"><\/td>\n\t\t<td class='td_field_last_name  field_last_name_q'><a class='' href='https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/directory\/pub\/info\/mheather'>M.
