Susan Brockmeier

Susan Brockmeier received her DVM from the University of Missouri (Columbia, Missouri, USA), and a PhD in Veterinary Microbiology from Iowa State University (Ames, Iowa, USA). She is currently a Research Veterinary Medical Officer with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), at the National Animal Disease Center (Ames, Iowa, USA), where she has conducted swine infectious disease research for the past 25 years. Dr. Brockmeier has extensive experience working on polymicrobial infections and her work is centered around how bacterial pathogens establish infection and cause disease alone and in combination with other common viral and bacterial respiratory pathogens to produce the swine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). The disease models she has developed have been used to analyze pathogenesis, transmission, innate and adaptive immune responses, biotherapeutic interventions, and vaccine efficacy.
