Meg (Marguerita B.) Cattell

John Liu

After earning my Veterinary degree, I specialized in Food Animal and Preventative Medicine, achieving a board certification from the American Board of Veterinary Practice. As a Fulbright Fellow in India, I worked on zoonotic infectious diseases of cattle and water buffalo. As an Intern and affiliate faculty member, I trained veterinary students in Clinical Practice and Production Medicine while earning an Epidemiology MS and creating a Contract Research Organization, Dairy Research & Technology, LLC (DR&T), to conduct over a dozen Clinical Trials for FDA and USDA approval. DR&T continues to conduct discovery and development work for human and veterinary biologics. As Research Director for PanTheryx, Inc., I developed intellectual property and conducted in vitro and in vivo studies in collaboration with universities for several, successful infectious disease programs for Clostridium difficile, norovirus and rotavirus. Our Food for Special Dietary Use, DiaResQ, provides patented passive immune prophylaxis and therapy for infectious diarrhea globally. As CSO for the Bridge Institute Global BioShield project in collaboration with CSU Infectious Disease Research Institute, we created a natural intranasal polyclonal antibody to prevent SARS COV2 infection in humans. With my husband, award winning veterinarian and nutritionist, Dr. Arden Nelson, we provided education to veterinary and producers around the world and owned and operated a certified organic, grassfed, specialty farm.
