This week on Genome Barks, we are pleased to present Dr. William Kisseberth of the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  Funded by the Canine Health Foundation, Dr. Kisseberth’s team is working to determine the genetic components of canine cancer for potential targets for new cancer therapy drug development.

This week on Genome Barks, we welcome Dr. Richard Goldstein, a faculty member at Cornell University with a specialty in genetic and infectious diseases of the kidney.  Recorded at the August Breeders’ Symposium held in Syracuse, New York, Dr. Goldstein discusses vaccination protocols, including maternal antibodies in the puppy, timing of vaccinations (both in the puppy and in the dam), frequency of vaccine boosters and geriatric care.  Dr. Goldstein also explains the difference between “core” and “non-core” vaccines and other various elements of canine vaccinations.
