Cryptorchidism and Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease
In this podcast we bring you and interview with Dr. Max Rothschild, distinguished professor of agriculture and life sciences and director of the center for integrated animal genomics at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Funded by the AKC Canine Health Foundation primarily for his research in cryptorchidism, Dr. Rothschild’s areas of research interest are gene mapping, reproduction and immunogenetics of swine, new statistical methods to evaluate animals and gene identification in dogs. Dr. Rothschild helps us understand what cryptorchidism is and discusses the health concerns associated with the condition and the developments in his research to find the genetic cause. Furthermore, Dr. Rothschild is doing genetic research on Cranial Cruciate Ligament disease. He discusses the condition and the status of the research.

The Future of Cancer Research
In this edition of Genome Barks we hear from Dr. Bruce Smith of the Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer (AURIC). The Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine recently received a $1 million appropriation from the state of Alabama for cancer research. Specifically, Dr. Smith discusses the focus of the "One Medicine" approach which links human, animal, and environmental health, and where discoveries in one species advance the health in all species.
