Our mission is to study and treat cancer in companion animals. In so doing, our work facilitates numerous opportunities for valuable comparative cancer investigations that can also contribute to improving human health. Our mission is supported by a three-pronged approach with efforts committed to discovery, translational investigation, and contemporary clinical care for companion animals with cancer.
