Biography

Dr. James Mickelson is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, Vector Scientific, Inc. , United States of America. His research interests includes Dr. Mickelson is an expert in the molecular and genetic basis of neuromuscular disease in animals. His group has identified genes for inherited neuromuscular diseases in both horses (overo lethal white syndrome, glycogen branching enzyme deficiency, polysaccharide storage myopathy) and dogs (malignant hyperthermia, exercise-induced collapse, polyneuropathies) that serve as comparative animal models for several human conditions. He is currently performing genetic association analyses for exertional rhabdomyolysis in horses, as well as several forms of canine idiopathic epilepsy, exercise collapse, leukoencephalomyelopathy and polyneuropathies..
