Dr. Schanbacher's research interests are in the areas of physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of bovine mammary development and milk protein synthesis. Studies are focused at whole animal, cellular, and molecular biology levels for synthesis and secretion of milk protein, mammary cellular growth and development, and growth regulation.
