This study is part of our fellowship program, established to support early career research scientists. The Fellow will study the role of signaling cells in inflammatory processes associated with postoperative ileus, a life-threating complication of colic surgery.

Researchers will develop an educational training program for Spanish-speaking horse owners in Colombia to improve early recognition of colic, knowledge of risk factors and appropriate treatment when access to veterinary services is limited.

Researchers will study whether changes to gastrointestinal (gut) motility in horses are associated with post-travel colic and use this new information to improve management recommendations for the care of transported horses.

Researchers will study the immune response in the intestine of horses undergoing colic surgery, focusing on a common complication called postoperative ileus.

This study is part of our fellowship program, established to support early career research scientists. The Fellow will use advanced genetic technologies to discover causative agents of severe disease and high mortality in yellow-eyed penguin chicks.

Researchers will evaluate the effect of blocking a key protein involved in fat metabolism that may help improve quality of life for cats with osteoarthritis.

Researchers will investigate the anesthetic and analgesic effects of an opioid-free or an opioid-sparing protocol in cats undergoing spay surgery.
