SUMMARY: The fellow plans to develop a new, targeted therapy for mast cell tumors that employs a specially created monoclonal antibody designed to destroy mast cells.
SUMMARY: Researchers will study whether oral rabies vaccination, coupled with facial recognition technology, can improve the health and welfare of dogs in rural communities in Tanzania.
SUMMARY: Researchers will evaluate an innovative approach using engineered intracellular bacteria called quasiorganelles as a platform for the intracellular delivery of proteins to histiocytic sarcoma cells and surrounding immune cells in the local tumor environment. This proteins have been selected to suppress cancer growth and stimulate the immune system for the purpose of eliminating cancer cells.
SUMMARY: Researchers will study the effects of exposure to environmental pollutants on the hemangiosarcoma risk in dogs enrolled in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study.
SUMMARY: Researchers will compare the genetics of golden retrievers diagnosed with histiocytic sarcoma to those without the disease to look for predisposing genetic variants.
