Developing Diagnostic Tools for Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)
Researchers will investigate whether viral mutations associated with feline infectious peritonitis are valuable and effective diagnostic targets.

Researchers will investigate a vaccine strategy against feline enteric coronavirus, a common, nonlethal virus that can mutate into feline infectious peritonitis virus.
Researchers will investigate genetic changes that occur in the feline enteric coronavirus that contribute to the development of feline infectious peritonitis, an incurable and fatal disease in cats.
Researchers will conduct a clinical trial to investigate the effectiveness of a novel antiviral drug in client-owned cats with naturally occurring feline infectious peritonitis as well as drug resistance that may occur during treatment.
Researchers will investigate an economical, rapid-imaging method to see if cancer cells are left behind following surgical removal of sarcomas in cats.
Researchers will investigate the use of a novel dietary supplement, avocado extract, to prevent and treat obesity in cats without the need for food restriction.
Researchers will improve the quality of the feline genome assembly, an important tool for studying genetic causes and risks associated with diseases in cats.
