    FORENSIC ODONTOLOGY: UT Comparative and Experimental Medicine (CEM), a joint program between the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Graduate School of Medicine, is launching the first post-graduate degree program in forensic odontology in the United States. The master’s program addresses the need for additional professionals trained to investigate crime scenes, provide positive identifications, and to process dental remains as evidence. More...

  • Global Ranavirus Reporting System (GRRS): Prof. Debra Miller helped design an open-source Web platform for global ranavirus surveillance data. Ranaviruses are capable of causing systemic hemorrhaging in amphibians, reptiles, and fish. More...

  • The work of Comparative and Experimental Medicine doctoral student Rebekah Kennedy was recently featured in Medical Xpress, a web-based medical and health news service. Her work focuses on triclocarban (TCC), an antimicrobial agent that is frequently added to bar soap. "Our research adds to the growing body of scientific literature suggesting unintended health consequences related to nonprescription antimicrobial use and will allow pregnant and nursing mothers to make informed decisions regarding use of these antimicrobial products," Kennedy said. Read more here.

  • A group of researchers in the Large Animal Clinical Sciences Department is working on regenerative medicine in horses. Specifically, they are using adult mesenchymal stem cells harvested from the horses themselves and injecting these stem cells into areas of the horse's body that need treatment, like joints. (L-R: Dr. Madhu Dhar, Dr. Jim Schumacher, Dr. H. Steve Adair, Ms. Nancy Neilsen)

  • Dr. Stephen Kania (L) & Dr. David Bemis (R) study Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, which is the main cause of skin infections in dogs. Many isolates of this bacterium are now resistant to certain antibiotics. Their research team continues to map this resistance and has shown a large cluster of resistance in the southeastern United States. Their ultimate goal is to determine how such organisms exchange resistance properties.


​We focus on more than animals. Our research also finds solUTions to problems that affect humans and the environment.


​Our faculty, staff, and students contribute to the process of discovery through a wide range of basic and translational interests that impact not only veterinary medicine but also the biomedical sciences, as well as the public health needs of the state and nation.

UTIA and Hanover Research

UTIA AgResearch and the College of Veterinary Medicine have entered into an agreement with Hanover Research, a grant development and consulting firm, to provide grant consultant services to UTIA faculty. The primary goal is to provide additional faculty resources to increase the success rate of extramurally funded competitive grant proposals. There is no cost-share requirement for the individual PI or his/her home department.

For additional information and to submit a request for Hanover services, visit the UTIA and Hanover Research details page.

Strategic Initiatives

 Toward the betterment of animal and human health:
  • enhance opportunities for veterinary students to gain biomedical and clinical research expertise
  • increase participation in the Comparative & Experimental Medicine Research Day
  • develop strategies to increase extramural funding and enhance industry relationships
  • increase enrollment in the Comparative and Experimental Medicine graduate program
