Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Douglas D. Rhoads is a University Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research primarily investigates molecular genomic analyses and genetic traits in livestock, with a significant focus on poultry. Recent work includes the analysis of genomes of bacterial isolates from lameness outbreaks in broilers, molecular genomic analyses of Enterococcus cecorum from sepsis outbreaks in broilers, and the use of SNP-based breeding for broiler resistance to ascites. He also studies the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in enteric pathogens and has developed methods for bacterial DNA extraction from environmental samples for surveillance purposes.

His scholarship includes 115 total publications and 3,331 total citations, with an h-index of 27, designating him as a highly cited researcher. Dr. Rhoads collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Adnan Alrubaye, Jeff Pummill, Andi Asnayanti, and Amer Hasan, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. He maintains an active lab website to share his research activities.
