Academic Collaborations

Collaborative Research Driving Breakthroughs in Animal and Human Health
At the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, we are advancing clinical research through strategic partnerships with researchers at Virginia Tech and across the globe. These collaborations enable us to pursue bold, high-impact studies that further veterinary and biomedical science.

Together with our partners, we have led pioneering initiatives such as the development of LOOK-Mitral, the first comprehensive reference database for dogs with mitral valve disease, and a landmark study on optimizing radioiodine dosing for the treatment of feline hyperthyroidism.
