This fellowship will characterize cardiomyopathy in Golden Retrievers and identify genes that contribute to phenotypic severity, which should improve detection and treatment of cardiomyopathy.

This fellowship investigates mechanisms and methods for detecting kidney injury in dogs with chronic kidney disease.

This study will optimize a technique for improving the cartilage-healing properties of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

This study seeks to determine the best source of stem cells - adipose, tendon or bone marrow - to treat tendon injury in horses.

This study will investigate the cause of a problematic muscle disease of Arabian horses participating in endurance racing.

This study will investigate the effect of seasons on hormone responses to diagnostic testing and will improve the criteria for early diagnosis of equine Cushing's disease, the most common disease of geriatric horses.

This study will investigate the genetic risk factors that underlie susceptibility for equine metabolic syndrome and laminitis in horses.

Researchers will investigate the pharmacokinetics, behavioral effects and adverse effects of intravenously and sublingually administered buprenorphine in neonatal foals.

This study will identify the mechanisms by which some Rhodococcus equi isolates have become resistant to the antibiotics most commonly used to treat infected foals.
