Researchers will investigate a genetic predisposition in Friesian horses to an eye disorder, bilateral corneal stromal loss, which can cause vision loss.

Researchers will evaluate the effects of increased weight loads carried by horses to provide science-based recommendations to the equine industry and address potential welfare concerns.

Researchers will investigate a new treatment strategy against antibiotic-resistant foal pneumonia.

Researchers will study biomechanical forces in different horse gaits as well as genetic risk factors associated with the development of osteochondrosis (OC) in Standardbred horses, a breed with high prevalence of OC lesions.

Researchers will search for candidate genes associated with equine metabolic syndrome in five horse breeds – Arabian, Morgan, quarter horse, Tennessee walking horse, and Welsh pony.

Researchers will investigate how the bacterium Burkholderia mallei which causes glanders, an infectious disease in horses, regulates immune response to persist ininfected animals.

Researchers will explore new techniques to generate stem cells that are more immunologically compatible and less likely to be rejected by the horse's immune system.
