Sara Jablonski, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM) is an assistant professor in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Jablonski is a board-certified specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine (SAIM) and serves as a clinician on the Internal Medicine Service at the Michigan State University Veterinary Medical Center.

In addition to her specialty in SAIM, Dr. Jablonski earned her PhD in biomedical sciences, studying intestinal lymphangiectasia (IL) and protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) in dogs. Today, she continues that research; in addition to leading her own PLE studies, Jablonski collaborates with primary investigators at several other universities. She also lectures nationally and internationally on the topic of PLE.

PLE and IL were first described more than 50 years ago. Today, veterinarians still struggle to treat it, and many dogs with PLE die from their disease. Dr. Jablonski's research efforts are dedicated to improving the quality of life and outcomes of dogs with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) syndrome. Dr. Jablonski studies the pathophysiology of PLE syndrome, as well as old and novel diagnostics and treatments in dogs with PLE. Her career goals are to contribute toward prevention of PLE in susceptible dogs and to improve the survival rate of dogs with PLE.
