OverviewAI-generated summary

Kentu Lassiter's research focuses on understanding physiological and genetic factors influencing livestock health and productivity, particularly in poultry. His work investigates the molecular underpinnings of conditions such as wooden breast myopathy and the genetic basis for water efficiency in broiler chickens.

Lassiter has published research examining gene expression profiles related to water homeostasis in broiler kidneys and hypothalami, especially in response to heat stress. His studies also explore potential blood plasma biomarkers for diagnosing woody breast disease and analyze carcass yield and meat quality in broiler lines with varying water efficiency under heat stress.

His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 20, with 1,538 total citations across 55 publications. Lassiter collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sara Orlowski, Sami Dridi, Travis Tabler, and C.M. Owens, and leads a research group. He is designated as a highly cited researcher.
