Synopsis of recent research by authors named "S Tompkins"
- S Tompkins' research primarily focuses on the reproductive physiology of dairy cattle and the implications of various protocols on estrus expression and reproductive outcomes, as demonstrated in a recent study involving a Double-Ovsynch protocol with a significant sample of lactating Holstein cows.
- Another key area of investigation is influenza virus dynamics, particularly the receptor specificity and protective correlates of influenza B virus and its effect on vaccination strategies, enriched by insights gained from the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Tompkins has also explored innovative vaccine formulations, including a recombinant N2 neuraminidase-based vaccine adjuvanted with CpG 1018, highlighting its efficacy against diverse influenza virus challenges in animal models, thus contributing to the development of broadly protective influenza vaccines.
