Welcome to the Office of Research at the College of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University. The office is a robust environment that supports the administration of sponsored research, training and public service endeavors funded by millions of dollars in grants, contracts and programmatic support.
We have a proud history at Ohio State for contributing to the advancement of human and veterinary medicine. The feline leukemia vaccine was developed here, and has not only saved the lives of thousands of cats, but has also led the way to further research on human retroviral diseases, including AIDS and diseases such as cancer. Our faculty in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences has been on the leading edge in the development of advanced orthopedic procedures in horses and dogs, and developed the first equine gene chip.
Faculty from the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine in the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center are known for their work in infectious diseases and are focused on biosecurity and the health of the nation’s food supply.
In 2003 we received a $9.8 million Program Project Grant for the National Cancer Institute to study how viruses cause cancer, how they might be used to fight cancer, and how the body’s immune system recognize and reacts to viral infections. Our faculty in the Department of Veterinary Biosciences also works in multidisciplinary teams with other colleges across campus, such as the Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Our research activity continues to advance the college's strategic plan, "Launching the 21st Century," to develop opportunities to elevate our research to the highest national levels of distinction, while continuing to meet the needs of the citizens of Ohio.
