Identifying Cancer-Causing Genes for Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCC)
Researchers will evaluate genes associated with squamous cell carcinoma – a common cancer in horses affecting the eye area – to gauge their value as new therapeutic targets and their use in early cancer detection.
Investigating a New Treatment Strategy for Equine Asthma
Researchers will investigate a promising new treatment target for equine asthma.
Managing the Spread of Salmonella
Researchers will determine how long infected horses shed Salmonella in their feces and use this new information to improve infection prevention and control.
Searching for Genetic Risk Factors for Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) - Fellowship
As part of a larger research project (D17EQ-019), the research fellow will analyze metabolic products to help prioritize genetic regions of interest in the ongoing search for markers associated with an increased risk of equine metabolic syndrome in horses.
Understanding Salmonella Susceptibility in Horses
Researchers will identify horse breeds most susceptible to Salmonella and determine which antibiotics would provide the greatest benefit to stricken animals.
Searching for Genetic Risk Factors for Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS)
Researchers will search for genetic markers associated with an increased risk for equine metabolic syndrome, a disorder in horses characterized by insulin resistance, obesity and susceptibility to laminitis.
