At Penn Vet, our challenge is how to advance the field of veterinary medicine, and by extension, all science. The work we do here is diverse—from dinosaurs to dogs, from laminitis to Leishmania, our researchers are in constant motion, advancing the scientific knowledge base.
Much of this work fits into four key focus areas: Cancer, Infectious Disease, Regenerative Medicine and Neuroscience. We chose these thematic areas for many reasons, including our renowned parasite immunology group, our successes in treating inherited blindness and neurological disease in dogs and cats, respectively, using gene therapy, our remarkable programs in clinical and basic neuroscience, and our emerging translational work in comparative oncology. In research that impacts humans and non-humans alike, Penn Vet is leading the way toward eminence in veterinary scientific investigation.
