Prospects of Plant-Based Vaccines in Veterinary Medicine

Jacqueline MacDonald earned a PhD in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto. With a strong background in molecular biology, she has worked with plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria, mostly with biotechnological applications. Her postdoctoral work involved plant-produced vaccine candidates for livestock with the goal of reducing the environmental and public health effects of antibiotics. Jacqueline currently teaches biotechnology, environmental sustainability, and health sciences at both Western University and Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, Canada.
