She teaches Veterinary Virology, Immunology, and Emerging Infectious Diseases, and leads a research program focused on zoonotic disease surveillance, vaccine development, and the advancement of molecular and immunological diagnostics.
Dr. Risalvato earned her bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering from the University of South Carolina and completed both her DVM and PhD in Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the University of Georgia through the Veterinary Medical Scientist Training Program.
