Sherrie G. Clark

Assistant Professor, Veterinary Clinical Medicine

Professional Interests:  Swine theriogenology with a special interest in boar infertility. I am particularly interested in male infertility of a variety of species. Performing analyses on andrology samples helps determine the various types of infertility conditions to be studied. Additionally, I am involved with a variety of project involving swine as a biomedical research model for homeostasis and bone regeneration.
