The OVC also houses the Institute for Comparative Cancer Investigation (ICCI). The ICCI provides comprehensive cancer care for companion animals and researches all aspects of the disease using an integrated approach. Approximately 30 cancer investigators from over a dozen departments across the University of Guelph collaborate across the fields of cancer biology, veterinary medicine, chemistry, mathematics,  computer science, toxicology, psychology and many other areas. This unique approach will benefit the understanding and treatment of cancer for animals as well as humans.
