In this podcast we bring you an interview with Dr. Ned Patterson, a member of the faculty at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. Funded by the AKC Canine Health Foundation for a variety of genetic disorders and epilepsy, Dr. Patterson’s research interests include epilepsy, comparative medicine, genetics and molecular medicine. Dr. Patterson discusses his research on a treatment for epliepsy in dogs. He also covers another of his research projects funded by the AKC Canine Health Foundation, urinary stones composed of calcium oxalate. These stones can be a problem for any dog, but are far more problematic in Miniature Schnauzers.
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.
