This laboratory course is an introduction to both canine mammary cancer and mammalian cell culture techniques in the context of conducting basic research with primary canine tumors and an established canine mammary cell line. Topics include etiology of canine mammary cancers, molecular characterization of canine mammary tumors, development of patient-derived xenografts, and canine mammary cancer as a model for human breast cancer.

This class serves as 1 credit accompaniment to the AnSci 366 Veterinary Microbiology Lab. Topics covered emphasize both the role of microbes as health-promoters and vectors of disease in animals.

Emphasis on topics such as wound care, vaccination, dental care, feed programs, lameness detection, parasite control, and breeding programs.

A microbiology laboratory course for skill development and discovery, focusing on the importance of microbes in animal health and disease, emphasizing development of essential techniques, including sterile technique, microscopy, enrichment, isolation, cultivation, characterization (including antibiotic susceptibility), and molecular detection of microbes; laboratory exercises designed to encourage students to develop and test hypotheses, and to think critically about their observations.

This course prepares students for further lab and clinical related work. Topics include lab measurements, solution preparation, instrumentation, practical laboratory exercises. Clinical topics include human and animal hematology, clinical chemistry, diagnostic biology, parasitology and molecular diagnostics with lab exercises that are applicable to veterinary or biomedical clinical laboratories. Laboratory sessions emphasize the performance of analytical procedures commonly used in veterinary medicine.
