Research is at the heart of every great educational program. It improves our practice of veterinary medicine through discovery and innovation of new techniques, drugs, vaccines, and approaches to animal care. It also informs how we teach.

Our school is actively forming research centers of excellence to advance sustainable livestock systems, equine health, and comparative medicine. Comparative medicine seeks to understand the similarities and differences of disease in animals and humans. Discoveries from comparative medicine research benefits the lives of animals and mankind.
