  • Assistant Professor, Oregon National Primate Research Center

Biography

Brandy Dozier, D.V.M., is an assistant professor in the Division of Comparative Medicine at the Oregon National Primate Research Center.  Dr. Dozier has almost 20 years of experience in biomedical research and veterinary care of nonhuman primates and became a Diplomate of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine in 2016.  She currently oversees animal care in the Neuroscience Division, which includes the geriatric colony, and she also oversees care of the Time Mated Breeding colony, Assisted Reproductive Core colony and shares veterinary care duties within the Division of Pathobiology & Immunology.  Dr. Dozier has expertise in the field of ovarian function, neonatal care, geriatric care, and abdominal ultrasound in nonhuman primates.  She has recently expanded her research experience into the field of alcoholism and how reproductive hormones, particularly progesterone, may be influencing alcohol intake.  Additionally, Dr. Dozier has a strong interest in clinical training of veterinary residents, students and technicians.

Dr. Dozier joined OHSU in 2012 after completing her veterinary degree at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine where she became an avid fan of the Virginia Tech Hokies.
