Researchers will investigate how metabolic processes affect tumor growth andchemotherapy resistance in dogs with hemangiosarcoma and ways to block or disrupt these processes.

Researchers will determine what causes abnormal mucus secretion in dogs resulting in gallbladder mucoceles (congealed masses of mucus that can block or rupture the gallbladder), as well as seek ways to prevent or reverse this serious condition.

Researchers will search for genetic mutations associated with inherited ocular melanosis, an eye condition that causes glaucoma and blindness in Cairn terriers.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of a novel immunotherapy to help reduce metastatic disease (cancer spread) and prolong quality of life in dogs with osteosarcoma.

Researchers will investigate if the calcium concentration in urine can be used as a non-invasive marker of calcium oxalate bladder stones in miniature schnauzers.

Researchers are characterizing the fecal microbiome of a defined group of golden retrievers.

Researchers will identify horse breeds most susceptible to Salmonella and determine which antibiotics would provide the greatest benefit to stricken animals.

Researchers will search for genetic markers associated with an increased risk for equine metabolic syndrome, a disorder in horses characterized by insulin resistance, obesity and susceptibility to laminitis.

Researchers will evaluate a new culture technique to grow stem cells less likely to be rejected by the patient during treatment.
