OverviewAI-generated summary

Matthew S. McCabe investigates host responses to viral infections in livestock, particularly dairy and beef calves. His research has explored the molecular mechanisms of infections caused by Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) and Bovine Herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1). This work includes analyzing transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in lymph nodes and whole blood using techniques such as ATAC-Seq and RNA sequencing.

His research extends to pathogen genomics, including whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in the Republic of Ireland and the genome sequencing of an Ungulate Tetraparvovirus 1. McCabe has also applied metagenomics using Nanopore sequencing to assess viral infections in calves. Beyond infectious diseases, his recent work has touched upon reproductive biology in cattle, specifically the incidence and timing of pregnancy loss related to artificial insemination and embryo transfer.

McCabe maintains an active research group and is recognized as a highly cited researcher, with a h-index of 35 and over 3,300 citations across his 100 publications. His work contributes to understanding animal health, viral pathogenesis, and genomic applications in disease research.
