Since 1972, Dr. Robinson has been
a faculty member at the College of Veterinary Medicine,Michigan State University,
in the departments of physiology and large animal clinical sciences. Currently
he is the Matilda R. Wilson Professor of Large Animal Clinical Sciences and
directs the Equine Pulmonary Laboratory. For the past twenty years, Dr. Robinson
has been investigating the pathogenesis of chronic, noninfectious airway disease,
particularly COPD in horses. His laboratory has been funded by grants from NIH,
USDA, foundations, and industry. With regard to the latter, Dr. Robinson and
his colleagues have collaborated primarily with Boehringer, 3M, and Bayer in
the development and testing of products and devices for treatment of equine
airway disease. Dr. Robinson's interests range from the basic science of autonomic
regulation of airways and mucus secretion to clinical methods for the treatment
of chronic airway disease, especially the use of bronchodilators and corticosteroids.
Dr. Robinson has published over 200 papers, reviews, and chapters, and is also
editor of Current Therapy in Equine Medicine 5, one of the best-selling equine
medicine texts. He is a frequent speaker at national and international meetings
on the topic of equine airway disease. Dr. Robinson is on the editorial board
of the American Journal of Veterinary Research, Equine Veterinary Education,
Equine Veterinary Journal, Equus, The Horse, and Veterinary Research Communications.
He also serves on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Animal Health Trust,
Newmarket, England
