The University of Kentucky (UK) Gluck Equine Research Center, in Lexington, recently welcomed Carrie Shaffer, PhD, as an assistant professor of microbiology.

Shaffer completed her undergraduate degree at UK, graduating with a bachelor’s of science in agriculture biotechnology, and earned her PhD from Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tennessee, in microbiology and immunology. She performed post-doctoral research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and completed her post-doctoral training at the California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena.
