How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Comparative Oncology Researchmethodology: comparative_oncologyBy studying naturally occurring cancers in dogs, we accelerate the development of effective cancer treatments for both canine and human patients, because canine tumors closely mimic human disease progression and response to therapy.
- One Medicine Approachmethodology: one_medicineBy leveraging shared biological and disease mechanisms between humans and animals, we accelerate medical discovery and treatment development for both species, because insights from veterinary medicine can directly inform human clinical research and vice versa.
- Simulation-Based Emergency Training for Service Dogsmethodology: simulation_based_trainingBy using high-fidelity canine simulation trainers, we improve emergency medical preparedness for service dog caregivers, because realistic training scenarios increase skill retention and response effectiveness in real-world crises.
