Canine cancer research at the University of Minnesota
Our research aims to understand what causes cancer in dogs and what drives its behaviors, turning that knowledge into better treatments and, ultimately, fewer cases of cancer in animals and humans. We are determined to achieve our vision through innovative research that is relevant and responsive to the needs of the people we serve and their companion animal family members.
