OverviewAI-generated summary
R.F. Wideman's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of disease and physiological responses in animals, with a significant emphasis on poultry health. Their work investigates the molecular and cellular underpinnings of conditions such as bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO), a cause of lameness in broilers. Recent publications explore the impact of BCO on health and stress parameters, the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy machinery dysregulation in affected birds, and the identification of local and systemic cytokine profiles associated with the condition.
Further investigations by Wideman delve into comparative and network-based proteomic analyses to uncover molecular signatures of lameness in broiler tibiae. This research also extends to exploring potential non-invasive detection methods for lesions using DXA imaging and evaluating the efficacy of dietary interventions, such as phytase and stimbiotic inclusion, in reducing mortality and lameness. Additionally, Wideman has studied water homeostasis gene expression in the kidneys of broilers divergently selected for water conversion ratio. With an h-index of 37, 159 total publications, and 4,447 total citations, Wideman has established a substantial body of work in animal health and disease research. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Sami Dridi, Alison Ramser, Elizabeth S. Greene, and Shawna Weimer.
