OverviewAI-generated summary
Kentu Lassiter's research focuses on understanding the physiological and genetic factors influencing feed efficiency and stress responses in poultry. His work investigates gene expression profiles in various tissues, including the hypothalamus and kidney, to identify genetic markers associated with water homeostasis and heat stress tolerance in different broiler lines. Lassiter has published research examining the upstream regulators of wooden breast myopathy proteomics and explored blood plasma biomarkers for this condition in commercial broilers.
His studies also assess the impact of environmental stressors, such as heat stress, on carcass yield and meat quality. Lassiter leads a research group at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, collaborating with researchers including Sara Orlowski, Sami Dridi, and Travis Tabler. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 21, with over 1,552 citations across 57 publications, and he is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
