A new study supports management of aquatic invasive species. 

Dr. Emily Kathambi Kiugu (DVM) has been awarded the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) Agriculture Next Gen Leadership Award.

In a recent USDA-funded study led by CVM’s Dr. Kimberly VanderWaal and Dr. Dennis Makau, researchers developed a model to predict the likely difference in pig immune response to new strains of PRRS—information that can help guide immunization protocols and drive new vaccine development for more effective disease management.

A recent study led by Dr. John Collister found that the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO), a cluster of nerves in the hypothalamus, helps direct the body’s blood pressure.
