Michigan State University has the scientific, clinical, and diagnostic expertise and infrastructure to translate basic science to high-quality investigations in companion animals with naturally occurring, spontaneous diseases.

Three Locales
  • MSU's College of Veterinary Medicine houses and collaborates with researchers across disciplines that are deeply involved with the development of tomorrow’s medical and surgical solutions for animals and people.
  • With its wide-reaching referral network of private veterinary practices, clinician experts, and high-resolution imaging and surgical resources, MSU’s Veterinary Medical Center is well-positioned to launch a successful, productive clinical trials program.
  • The state-of-the-art MSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory supports the Hospital’s on-site Clinical Pathology Service, as well as a multitude of other diagnostic services nearby.

Discoveries in companion animals and veterinary research can be translated to human clinical research thanks to the facilities and partnerships developed at MSU. Channels for this innovation include MSU's radiopharmacy, the Center for Imaging and Image-Guided Therapies, University partnerships with systems like Henry Ford Health and Corewell Health, and health care entrepreneurial training programs that develop the professionals who will bring clinical innovations to the market.
