Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Sami Dridi, Professor of Poultry Science at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, investigates the physiological and nutritional responses of broiler chickens to environmental stressors, particularly heat stress. His research examines how heat stress impacts performance, carcass yield, intestinal integrity, and inflammatory responses. Dridi also studies the effects of dietary interventions, such as low-protein diets supplemented with Spirulina platensis or essential oils, on mitigating these negative impacts. His work has explored gene expression regulation in response to heat and hypoxia, contributing to an understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses in chickens.
Dridi's research group also investigates other conditions affecting broiler health, including the exacerbation of woody breast myopathy by hypoxia through alterations in satellite cell fate. Furthermore, his studies have analyzed differences in ileal microbial composition in genetically distinct chicken lines raised under varying ambient temperatures. With an h-index of 44 and over 15,000 citations, Dridi is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas, including Sara Orlowski, Alison Ramser, Clay J. Maynard, and Travis Tabler.
