Determining How Dietary Interventions Can Reduce Cancer Risk
This fellowship study investigates how incorporating cooked dry bean powders into a canine kibble diet alters inflammation and metabolism and thereby reduces the risk of obesity and potentially of cancer.
Understanding MRSA Transmission Between Humans and Pets
This study will use high throughput DNA sequencing methods to characterize the bacteria found on mammalian companion animals and their human household members, with an emphasis on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus species.
Identifying a Signaling Pathway with Potential to Treat Melanoma
This study investigates the therapeutic relevance of targeting the Wnt signaling pathways in canine malignant melanoma.
Characterization and Targeting of Cancer Stem Cells in Canine Insulinomas
The aim of this study is to discover drugs that will work against cancer stem cells of an insulin-producing endocrine pancreatic tumor (insulinoma), thereby improving the prognosis of dogs suffering from insulinoma.
Defining the Optimal Dose of Rapamycin
This pilot study will determine the dose and schedule of rapamycin, a promising new adjunct cancer drug.
Evaluating a Genetic Variant That Determines Response to Heart Disease Medications
This study will evaluate dogs with heart disease for a common genetic variant to determine whether this variant affects their ability to respond to heart medications.
