Research
Dr. Emily Binversie is a Postdoctoral Trainee in the Comparative Orthopaedic and Genetics Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Binversie studies genomic structural variation and its contribution to risk of complex disease in a canine model. In 2016 she earned a Master’s of Science for her work in copy number variations association with canine cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture in the department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. After earning her DVM from the University of Wisconsin Veterinary School in 2018, she was awarded a T32 training grant by the National Institute of Health to undertake her current PhD training.
Responsibilities
Dr. Binversie is a Postdoctoral Trainee in the Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (CORL) and Comparative Genetics Laboratory. She assists in the training of graduate, veterinary, and undergraduate students.
