Filling in Remaining Gaps in the Cat Genome Assembly
Searching for Genetic Mutations Responsible for Heart Disease
Understanding Why Cats Respond Differently to Common Heart Medication
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.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Commonly Prescribed Drug for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of omeprazole, a gastric acid suppressant commonly prescribed to treat gastrointestinal symptoms in cats with chronic kidney disease.
Understanding Why Cats Respond Differently to Common Heart Medication
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.
Investigating the Re-emergence of a Fatal Gastrointestinal Disease in Shelter Cats
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.
