Benedict T Green

(Ben)    Research Pharmacologist  ****  **Poisonous Plant Research Lab** 1150 E 1400 N Logan, UT 84341 (435)797-4018           **Education** 2003- PhD - Molecular Veterinary Biosciences; University of Minnesota 1997- MS - Biology; Minnesota State University 1995 - BA - Chemistry; Minnesota State University 1995 - BS - Ecology, Minnesota State University   **Research Interests** The objective of Dr. Green's research is to understand the mechanisms of plant toxin action in livestock, and develop evidence-based therapeutic approaches to mitigate livestock losses caused by poisonous plants.  The specific objectives are to: Develop physiological measurements to quantify the biological effects of toxic plants in livestock
Identify genetic markers that associate with resistance to toxic plants in livestock
Develop a line of cattle that is resistant to the toxic effects of larkspur
Identify biomarkers that can be used to measure plant toxin exposure in livestock
Test evidence-based therapeutic approaches, and genetic markers in field situations to ensure relevance to the producer
