From large to small, from molecular to systemic, research at Penn Vet continues to push the limits of what we know about our world. We tackle complex issues such as cancer, molecular genetics, and blindness. We investigate how microbes such as bacteria and parasites impact both animal and human health. And we continue to develop solutions to pressing global issues such as humane food production, sustainable food security and zoonotic disease.
To continue to lead the profession in our four key areas of research; infectious disease, neuroscience, comparative oncology, and regenerative and stem cell biology, Penn Vet needs to support faculty focused on basic, translational, and clinical research who will create new knowledge, develop novel therapies for animals and inform human health.
