Researchers will determine if genetic mutations are directly linked to how well or how poorly a cat with heart disease responds to clopidogrel, a blood thinner used to prevent life-threatening blood clot complications.

Researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of omeprazole, a gastric acid suppressant commonly prescribed to treat gastrointestinal symptoms in cats with chronic kidney disease.

Researchers will determine if genetic mutations are directly linked to how well or how poorly a cat with heart disease responds to clopidogrel, a blood thinner used to prevent life-threatening blood clot complications.

Researchers will determine if multiple parvovirus strains or other viruses are contributing to the re-emergence of panleukopenia, a severe and often fatal gastrointestinal infection in cats.

Researchers will explore novel ways to diagnose and predict the likelihood of a cat to develop feline infectious peritonitis, a highly fatal viral disease with no known cure.

Researchers will identify genes responsible for the lack of immune defenses associated with feline herpesvirus, a major cause of upper respiratory infections in cats, with the aim of developing a more effective vaccine.

Researchers will use DNA sequencing technology to better understand biological mechanisms that help cats fight off viral infections; highly applicable for the development of the next generation of vaccines.
