Hepatic Disease Grants

The AKC Canine Health Foundation supports basic science discovery and clinical research into the treatment of liver disease through the Hepatic Disease Research Program Area. This program supports research into the pathophysiology of hepatic diseases, as well as the molecular and genetic basis and identification of potential therapeutic drugs that reduce the pathology associated with such diseases.
