Research at UCVM
Our research programs and our engagement of undergraduate and graduate students has made us a leader among research-intensive North American veterinary colleges.
We support a broad base of research excellence across disciplines with areas of strength in cattle health, infectious disease, pain and animal welfare, equine health, wildlife heath, reproduction and regenerative medicine, and veterinary education.
Research Groups
We have established formal research groups to help develop our strategic priority areas and enhance their visibility. Each Group is shaped by the interests of individuals with synergistic research expertise and members who enable collaborative research, knowledge translation and return to the community.
Research Chairs
We have research chairs in areas of animal care and welfare, infectious diseases of dairy cattle, skin regeneration and wound healing, equine sports medicine, prion disease, waterborne microbes, beef health and spinal cord injury.
