Develop multidisciplinary basic and translational research programs to exploit the spontaneous tumors presented to our Veterinary Clinic.
Spontaneous tumors provide invaluable models for understanding the basic mechanisms of cancer.
In addition, such models facilitate the development and testing of diagnostic and treatment modalities useful for both animal and human patients. The Mari Lowe Center will facilitate the development of diagnostic, treatment and research infrastructures, which in turn will help in the retention and recruitment of top-notch faculty. Develop a post-graduate research training program in conjunction with the residency program to train future Veterinary Oncologists, who are currently in short supply.
