Dr. Yuko Sato received her DVM in 2012 from Purdue University. She joined Iowa State University in August 2015 after completing a poultry residency and serves as the university’s Poultry Extension Veterinarian and Diagnostic Pathologist. She is a diplomate of the American College of Poultry Veterinarians since 2015. Her extension programs focus on poultry infectious disease diagnosis, prevention, and investigation. Dr. Sato is very active in scientific organizations such as the American Association of Avian Pathologists and United States American Health Association, and is a highly sought out national speaker on poultry conferences. She also serves on numerous advisory boards locally, such as the state poultry associations, as well as nationally, including the United Egg Producers scientific advisory committee.

Olufemi Fasina

I studied veterinary medicine at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. I completed my PhD training in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology with emphasis on molecular virology at the University of Missouri-Columbia, Missouri. I studied parvovirus host cell interactions and gene expression strategies. I utilized adeno-associated virus (AAV) and minute virus of canines (MVC, canine parvovirus 1) as a model to study and elucidate parvovirus RNA processing, DNA damage response, the role of viral non-structural proteins in RNA processing and viral genome replication, in addition to the application of adeno-associated virus (AAV) as gene therapy vectors. We identified and characterized the first parvovirus non-structural protein; NP1 involved in RNA processing and viral genome replication.  I completed anatomic pathology residency at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and I’m a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) with research interest in diagnostic pathology, comparative pathology and virology and molecular pathology.
