Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Rohana Liyanage is a Senior Scientist at the Statewide Mass Spectrometry Facility at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research group's work focuses on applying mass spectrometry techniques to investigate various biological and chemical processes, particularly within the context of animal health and food safety.

Liyanage has published extensively on topics including the microbial and chemical factors influencing poultry health, such as the role of specific bile acids in controlling necrotic enteritis and the impact of dietary components like trans-cinnamaldehyde and caprylic acid on pathogen carriage. Her work also delves into the physiological responses of chickens to environmental stressors, like cold stress, and its association with microbiome shifts. Additionally, her research has explored the interactions between microbes and host physiology, including how serotonin modulates *Campylobacter jejuni* and how compounds like sodium butyrate affect macrophage responses to pathogens. Her publication record includes 127 total publications with 3,070 citations, and she holds an h-index of 29. She is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
