Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

K.B. Nelson's research focuses on animal nutrition and physiology, with a particular emphasis on the dietary requirements and performance of broilers. Recent publications investigate the effects of specific amino acids, such as glycine, serine, arginine, and histidine, on broiler growth and development. Nelson's work also examines the impact of dietary variations, including protein levels and soybean processing methods, on broiler performance metrics. Furthermore, research includes characterizing water intake and water conversion ratios across different commercial broiler lines.

Beyond animal nutrition, Nelson's research interests extend to neonatal encephalopathy, exploring its epidemiology and the contribution of placental factors to its etiology. This area of study indicates an interest in birth, development, and health outcomes, as well as maternal and perinatal health.

Nelson has secured significant federal funding for diverse research projects. These include NIH grants for exploring genomic and cellular determinants of gene therapy durability and non-viral delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 for targeted gene replacement. NSF funding supports work on cell-derived extracellular matrix biofiber engineering, enhancing ambient capacitive sensing through sensor fusion, and infrastructure for side-channel attacks on cryptographic algorithms. With an h-index of 18 and over 1,200 citations, Nelson has a publication record of 37 works.
