Our Research

Our research is to understand what causes cancer and what drives its behaviors, turning that knowledge into better treatments and, ultimately, fewer cases of cancer in animals and in humans. Through innovative research that is relevant and responsive to the needs of the people we serve and their companion animal family members, we are determined to achieve our vision.

How you can participate

Clinical Trials are an essential step in taking what we learn in the lab and putting that knowledge to work in the clinic. We test what we hope will be more effective strategies for cancer treatment and prevention. Visit our Clinical Trials page.
