Dr. Sarah White-Springer, M.S., Ph.D.

Sarah H. White is an Associate Professor of Equine Physiology in the Equine Section of the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida (UF), specializing in Equine Industry. She stayed at UF for her Master’s and Doctoral degrees, focusing on Equine Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. Upon completion of her PhD, Dr. White completed 2 years of post-doctoral training in muscle physiology in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Kentucky (UK). During her time at UK, Dr. White had 2 primary research interests: 1) investigating the role of skeletal muscle satellite cells during hypertrophy in growing and mature mice, and 2) characterizing the lower limb skeletal muscle in patients with peripheral artery disease with the aim of developing non-invasive interventions to improve quality of life.
