Rate My Professor Kara Lascola

Dr. Lascola's research specializations include respiratory disease and physiology, development of novel approaches to image the lung, and pharmacology. She is an active member of the Veterinary Comparative Respiratory Society and the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. In 2019, she was appointed to the Morris Animal Foundation’s Large Animal Scientific Advisory Board, later serving as Chair. Her contributions extend to clinical services in equine internal medicine, emergency, and critical care at the J.T. Vaughan Large Animal Teaching Hospital. Key publications encompass peer-reviewed articles such as “Restrained whole body plethysmography for measure of strain-specific and allergen induced airway responsiveness in conscious mice” (Journal of Applied Physiology, 2006), “Respiratory mechanics in sedated and nonsedated adult llamas” (American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2007), “Computed tomography of the lung in healthy neonatal foals: qualitative and quantitative interpretation” (American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2013), and textbook chapters in Large Animal Internal Medicine (2014) and Equine Neonatology (2015). These works advance equine respiratory diagnostics and treatment in veterinary medicine.
