About the course

The comparative medical genetics researchers at the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine are dedicated to understanding the mechanisms that underlie genetic diseases in order to identify preventative medicine strategies and develop novel therapies and interventions. Using a One Health approach, researcher interests range from the effects of anticancer vaccines to equine neuromuscular diseases to glaucoma and other integrative lines of investigation that will produce new knowledge that can be used to improve the health of animals and humans. The Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation offers courses for students in the professional program in Veterinary Medicine. The department offers Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs. Residency training in diagnostic veterinary anatomic or clinical pathology is also available. Graduate education and research may be directed to either human or animal pathology. Major areas of research in pathology provide the basis for advanced degree programs. These areas include toxicologic pathology, oncology, neuropathology, hematology in a broad sense, immunopathology, pathology of infectious diseases, reproductive and cardiovascular pathology, and pathology of animal models for human disease. Comparative aspects of disease processes may encompass a variety of species, including humans and domestic or wild mammals and birds, and may emphasize anthropozoonoses dealing with diseases transmissible across species lines. An interdisciplinary approach to problem solving will be applied in all instances where indicated. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
