Science that moves from discovery to impact.
I’m Isabella Hamner, a Colorado State University student researcher exploring questions at the intersection of animal health, immunology, infectious disease, and translational science. My goal is to build a career that connects rigorous research with meaningful outcomes for animals, people, and the systems they share.
What drives my work
Curiosity grounded in purpose.
I am interested in the biological mechanisms behind disease—and in how those discoveries can be translated into better clinical decisions, stronger prevention, and more resilient animal and public health systems.
02
Translation
Connecting laboratory evidence to clinical, agricultural, and community-facing applications.
03
One Health
Approaching animal, human, and environmental health as interconnected scientific and societal challenges.
Research affiliations
Explore my work by research community.
My research spans equine reproductive immunology, livestock sustainability, and the broader veterinary and biomedical sciences community at Colorado State University.
Featured research
Investigating PPID-associated inflammation in the mare.
In the Fedorka Lab, I contributed to research evaluating whether the chronic systemic inflammation associated with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction is also present within the equine reproductive tract.
