Research Programs

The Scott-Ritchey Research Center's mandate is to perform state-of-the-art research into diseases and other medical problems of companion animals. While these projects are focused on animal health and well-being, many of these projects have the potential to help with important human disease problems as well. Researchers within the Center are currently organized into Research Interest Groups. Additionally, Center faculty have College of Veterinary Medicine, Auburn University as well as national and international research collaborations.

Current Research Interest Groups are:

• Stem Cell Biology and Therapy - Drs. Henry Baker, Nancy Cox, Douglas
• Martin, Tatiana Samoylova, Bruce Smith
• Transplantation Biology and Therapy - Dr. Douglas Martin
• Immuno-contraception - Drs. Henry Baker, Tatiana Samoylova, Bruce Smith
• Molecular Therapy of Cancer - Drs. Tatiana Samoylova, Bruce Smith
• Inherited Disease Biology - Drs. Henry Baker, Nancy Cox, Douglas Martin, Tatiana Samoylova, Bruce Smith
• Molecular Therapy of Inherited Disease - Drs. Henry Baker, Nancy Cox, Douglas Martin, Tatiana Samoylova, Bruce Smith
• Cellular Targeting Biology - Drs. Nancy Cox, Tatiana Samoylova, Bruce Smith
