Innovative neuroscience research at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) could reveal more about the causes of Alzheimer’s Disease, as well as a potential treatment.
Drs. Bettina Kalisch and Tarek Saleh in OVC’s Department of Biomedical Sciences are studying regulatory mechanisms involved in gene expression. Cells can regulate their gene expression, and thereby the types of proteins they produce, by turning genes on or off. This regulation allows cells to respond to changing environments but can simultaneously...
Experiential learning is a key component in the student veterinarian’s journey. This is particularly true for fourth-year students at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) as they move from lectures and labs into an intensive year of clinical training prior to graduation. 
Improving lives of pets, veterinary clients and veterinary teams through communication and relationship-building is the goal of a new $1-million chair awarded at the University of Guelph. 
Animal health leaders and researchers from the Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) programme have secured US$7 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, to rollout a framework on measuring animal health burdens and their impacts on human lives and economies. The information provided by GBADs will guide public policy and private sector strategy, contributing to improve animal health and welfare more effectively. It will also be a basis for further...
