Introduction
At graduate school I studied surgically non-invasive methods for diagnosing bovine amyloidosis. Isoform analysis of serum amyloid A (SAA), which is a precursor of deposited amyloid A protein, was found to be an effective diagnostic tool. While working as a vet at the National Agricultural Insurance Association, I studied a nephrotic syndrome in cattle in which there's no amyloid deposition, and I conducted epidemiological surveys of infectious diseases at dairy-cow care and nursery facilities and supplement supply tests to boost calf productivity. I've only just come to this university, so comprehensive research on these hasn't been conducted yet. Now I'm promoting research on digital dermatitis in dairy cattle.
