John P. McNamaraProfessor John McNamara, Emeritus Professor of Animal Sciences, WSU Teaching Academy, Washington State University, USA
John McNamara has research interests in lactation systems biology and bio-mathematical models. The objective of his program is t define the endocrine and biochemical regulation of nutrient metabolism and reproduction during lactation. Work includes transcriptomic and endocrine regulation of adipose tissue metabolism in lactating cows and pigs. Present focus is on transcriptomic adaptations to lactation, control of adipose metabolic flux and cytokine production. Animal models studied include dairy cattle and pigs. He is President-Elect of the Washington Science Teachers Association and a Fellow of both the American Dairy Science Association and American Society of Animal Sciences. He has an h-index of 25.
