About Stephen A. Hines
Dr. Stephen A. Hines is professor of veterinary microbiology and pathology and Berger Keatts distinguished professor for excellence in teaching at Washington State University. He is a diplomate in the American College of Veterinary Pathology, having earned his doctor of veterinary medicine degree at Ohio State University and his Ph.D. in immunology and infectious disease at University of Florida. A member of WSU faculty since 1989, Dr. Hines has won numerous research and teaching awards at the college, university, and national levels.
In recent years, Dr. Hines’ research at WSU has centered on rhodococcal pneumonia, a serious affliction of young horses and a model for human tuberculosis research. By studying horses and mice, Dr. Hines’ laboratory helped define the immunologic mechanisms that result in either immune protection or life-threatening pneumonia. This discovery resulted in an important series of articles in prominent scientific journals. The work also offers implications for improving neonatal immunity in humans. Dr. Hines suspects that novel vaccine approaches designed to induce a unique group of “killer cells” early in life will be an important factor in disease prevention. In earlier research, Dr. Hines studied Babesia bovis, a type of protozoa that significantly limits cattle production in much of the world and causes an illness closely related to malaria.
