Research Centers
- Center for Animal Health and Productivity
The Center implements teaching, research, and service programs directed toward the improvement of health and productivity of dairy, swine, and poultry production systems in Pennsylvania. The Center focuses on the maintenance of physical and economic health in the whole animal population rather than clinical treatment of individual sick animals.
- Center for Animal Transgenesis and Germ Cell Research
The Center was established with the primary mission of performing innovative research on stem cell biology, nuclear reprogramming by transplantation, and animal transgenesis. A major objective of the research is to improve the health and productivity of domestic animals by genetic modification.
- Center for Aquatic Animal Medicine and Pathology
The Center aims to improve the technology and profitability of aquaculture, further the scientific study of aquatic animals, and develop an active educational focus on fish health and productivity. The Center interacts with Aquavet®, the aquatic veterinary medical program established by the School and offered at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
- Allam Center for Equine Sports Medicine and Imaging
The interdisciplinary Center provides comprehensive clinical service and integrates
research, clinical practice, and education as they relate to the sport horse.
The Center comprises four research laboratories.
- Center for Infectious Disease Research and Food Safety
The Center is committed to research and training that will increase the ability to control and prevent bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases that threaten the health and well-being of animals and humans.
- Center for Interaction of Animals and Society
The Center provides an interdisciplinary and scholarly forum for research, education, and public service programs concerned with human-animal relationships. Its aims are to study the effects of interactions with animals on people at different stages of the life cycle, to explore the impact of our use of animals on their behavior and welfare, and to use knowledge gained to enhance human well-being and promote the humane use and treatment of animals in society.
- Walter Flato Goodman Center for
Comparative
Medical Genetics
The Center is dedicated to clinical and basic research on companion animals with diseases that are counterparts of human diseases, with the major emphasis on inherited disorders. Researchers at the Center identify and characterize new models, investigate disease causing genes, study mechanisms of pathology, and develop novel therapeutic approaches.
- Mari Lowe Center for Comparative Oncology Research
The Center is devoted to cancer research and to developing new diagnostic and treatment modalities for cancer in animals. Its researchers and clinicians, in close alliance with the Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, work to formulate preventive, diagnostic, and treatment measures to control the disease in animals.
