Penn Vet faculty are engaged in ongoing groundbreaking research. Here are examples of faculty laboratories and the projects being investigated, both at our Philadelphia campus and at New Bolton Center.
The Lab is part of the Institute for Medical Translation at Penn Vet New Bolton Center. It functions as an ecosystem for medical translation and multidisciplinary collaboration providing a bridge…
We are interested in defining the prognostic and therapeutic role of T cells in hematologic malignancies utilizing a multispecies comparative approach.
The work of the Dou Laboratory features an integrated system nutrient management approach, coupling nutrient optimization in animal feeding with manure management and targeted nutrient application to crops for enhanced…
The Equine Pharmacology Laboratory at New Bolton Center provides accurate information to policy makers and enforcers, veterinarians, and horsemen on therapeutic and non-therapeutic drug use in race horses to help…
Research Overview At the Harty Laboratory, we focus our research on three main areas: Our model virus systems to interrogate these topics include: About Us Director, Harty Laboratory Ronald N. Harty,…
Overview The Havemeyer Equine Behavior Research Laboratory at New Bolton Center has grown from within the Section of Reproductive Studies. Since the early 1980s the program, has had research as its…
The Hunter Laboratory has focused on understanding how the immune response to Toxoplasma gondii is regulated to allow the development of protective immunity as well as to limit T cell mediated pathology…
The Lengner Laboratory is broadly interested in the mechanisms by which stem cells acquire and maintain developmental potency. We are also exploring how deregulation of these mechanisms can contribute to…
We believe that by studying naturally occurring Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in dogs and cats we can improve treatment for people and pets with this debilitating condition.
About Us The Marshak Dairy is named in honor of Robert Marshak, the ninth dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine whose support was instrumental in establishing the farm. Built…
Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System (PADLS) is a tripartite system which joins together the University of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and the Pennsylvania State University, and is dedicated to…
The Ortved Laboratory at New Bolton Center is focused on understanding the pathophysiology of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) and developing gene and cell-based therapies to help regenerate cartilage and prevent the…
Overview Led by Katrin Hinrichs, DVM, PhD, DACT, the Harry Werner Endowed Professor of Equine Medicine and Chair of the Department of Clinical Studies-New Bolton Center, the Penn Equine Assisted…
When to choose a DNA test Choose “DNA Tests” if you would like testing for a specific DNA variant in a specific breed. When to choose a metabolic test If…
Our research focuses on the cellular and molecular basis of inflammation and fibrosis. The Puré Laboratory has made seminal contributions to our understanding of the roles of stromal cells and…
The Reference Andrology Laboratory provides complete testing of neat, cooled, and frozen-thawed semen from mammalian and avian species. The primary purpose of these services is to aid practitioners in their…
Scott Laboratory’s current research is focused on understanding the development, regulation, and maintenance of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in order to design new vaccines and immunotherapies for infectious diseases.…
Research The Sunyer Laboratory focuses on basic and applied aspects of the fish immune system. Moreover, as teleost fish represent the most ancient living bony species with an immunoglobulin-based adaptive…
The van Eps Laminitis and Endocrinology Laboratory at New Bolton Center is focused on understanding the key events that drive laminitis under different circumstances in order to develop reliable means…
The goals of the Volk laboratory are to understand regulatory mechanisms governing dynamic interactions between cells and their surrounding extracellular matrix in the wound healing-fibrosis-cancer progression triad and to apply…
The Wang Laboratory focuses on the study of regulation of meiosis, the biology of small non-coding RNAs (piRNAs), epigenetics of transposable elements, and biology of spermatogonial stem cells.
The Wolfe Laboratory works on transferring disease-correcting genes into the central nervous system (CNS) in animal models of human genetic diseases. In these diseases, the CNS is often not rescued by…
