Biography
Dr. De Buck received his Master's in bioengineering sciences, majoring in cell and gene technologies, his Master's in laboratory animal sciences as well as his PhD in Veterinary Medicine at Ghent University in Belgium. His area of expertise is veterinary microbiology with a special interest in paratuberculosis (Johne's disease), bovine mastitis and bovine digital dermatitis. Dr. De Buck's research program focuses on bacterial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions in order to improve current vaccination strategies, to find new diagnostic targets and develop novel biosensor technologies. Related to Johne's disease, he is investigating 1) Map pathogenesis, 2) host immune response after Map infection, 3) early biomarkers of Map infection, and 4) molecular epidemiology. With respect to bovine mastitis, he has a particular interest in coagulase-negative staphylococci in order to clarify their role as mastitis pathogens.
