Bio

Petra graduated at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Kosice [Koshice], Slovakia in 2001. A fortunate trip to North Carolina State University gave me the chance to start an internship followed by a residency in veterinary dermatology and immunology PhD.  She became boarded by both American and European Colleges of Veterinary Dermatology in 2010 and defended my PhD in 2012.

As a result of completing her PhD, she was able to identify the major target autoantigen in canine pemphigus foliaceus. After finishing PhD, Petra joined the Dermatology Faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012 as a clinician-scientist with a main interest in autoimmunity and atopic dermatitis. She also manages the equine dermatology department at the NCSU.
