Dr. Shipp is a microbiologist in the Ruminant Animal Health Laboratory. Her research focuses on
how changes in diet affect microbial communities in the digestive tract of beef cattle and how these
changes may increase risk of disease. Methods used in the lab include molecular biology, metagenomics
and bioinformatics. Dr. Shipp’s responsibilities include performing pilot projects involving ruminant microbial
communities, preparation of research proposals and external funding applications: collaborating with outside
laboratories and performing related research.
