Emerging Infectious Diseases, A new program starting in Aug 2000 is accepting applications until Jan. 15,2000. The Department has the primary responsibility for the Infectious Diseases and Experimental Pathology graduate program and is actively involved in graduate teaching in appropriate areas of specialization of study towards M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. A graduate degree may be pursued concurrently with residency training leading to board certification offered by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists, and the American College of Veterinary Pathologists. Graduate Programs in Veterinary Pathobiology provide broad training in the biological sciences and other relevant disciplines with interdisciplinary research programs being highly encouraged. Our students include postbacclaureate and post-D.V.M. students pursuing graduate training in the research areas listed above.
Most projects focus on problems related to the health and welfare of horses.
Students receive rigorous training in a basic science research discipline, as well as full academic and clinical training as a veterinarian. PhD research program concentrations include biochemistry, cell biology, immunology and virology, molecular genetics and microbiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and cellular and molecular physiology.
