Dogs and Cancer (Part 2): Emerging Methods and Technologies in Comparative Oncology

Dogs experience spontaneously arising cancer at roughly five times the rate that humans do, and their immune systems and environmental exposures are very similar to those of humans. Recent work in both “wet” and “dry” labs have produced valuable new methods for sample collection and diagnosis; breed prediction and classification; and tumor microenvironment and genetic analysis. These advances promise to yield better outcomes for dogs and humans.
Dr. Shaying Zhao will speak on her lab’s development of new bioinformatic research methods in comparative oncology in her talk titled “MHC genotyping, tumor-specific neoantigen discovery, and T cell repertoire characterization for the dog.”
Dr. Heather Gardner will describe developments in minimally invasive diagnostic techniques in a talk titled “Considerations for longitudinal liquid biopsy analysis in spontaneous canine cancers.”
