The research mission of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is to be an international leader in the creation of knowledge as well as its translation into changes in practice and policy, in order to advance animal and public health and the veterinary profession.

Our research is supported through a large number of research grants and contracts, and provides opportunities for postgraduate training in a variety of settings including laboratory, clinical, field and population survey, international, and health policy arenas. Annual research funding is over $4 million. The research is focused in several broad inter-disciplinary areas:
