Dr. Rogovsky is currently an Associate Professor of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University. He received his Ph.D. in Veterinary Science from Washington State University, his M.S. in Food Science at Louisiana State University, and his D.V.M. in Veterinary Medicine from National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine.
His research interests center on vector-borne diseases and clinical veterinary microbiology. Dr. Rogovsky is a 2020 Bay Area Lyme Foundation Emerging Leader Award (ELA) winner. His ELA research project focused on developing a robust, rapid diagnostic test using Raman spectroscopy. For a description of his current Lyme research, click here.
Artem Rogovsky, PhD, DVM, along with researchers from Texas A&M University, were able to identify Borrelia infection with 88% accuracy, 85% sensitivity, and 90% specificity using Raman spectroscopy, a light-based test commonly used in chemistry labs, to evaluate human blood samples provided by Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s Lyme Disease Biobank. By providing a unique chemical thumbprint to identify Lyme bacteria faster, Raman spectroscopy has the potential to diagnose the disease earlier. Read the full study here.
