|Research=The Ontario Veterinary College conducts research in various fields of veterinary medicine, including food and companion animal medicine, equine medicine, health management and environmental health. There are facilities for animal-based and laboratory-based research including a 12,000 sq. ft Laboratory for Translational Biomedical Discovery, Intensive Care and surgical facilities and Magnetic Resonance Imaging and spectroscopy facilities. The OVC focusses on research that develops animal models for the investigation of human disease.

The OVC also boasts the Institute for Comparative Cancer Investigation (ICCI), which is dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer care for companion animals and unlocking the deadly secrets of the disease for the benefit of all species, including humans. The ICCI takes an integrated approach to cancer studies that cannot be matched in a human health care environment. It entails collaborative research of more than 30 cancer investigators from at least a dozen departments across the University of Guelph: cancer biologists, veterinarians, chemists, mathematicians, computer scientists, toxicologists, psychologists and others who represent Guelph’s unique capacity to broaden the scope of research and deepen our understanding of cancer.

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.

There are a large number of agri-food and health management projects underway at present. This research is supported by the OMAFRA contract and many external groups, like the Ontario Cattleman’s Association, Poultry Industry Council, the NSERC Industrial Partnership Program, pharmaceutical companies and many more. Food safety research is an area that the OVC is primarily focused on as well. Another ever expanding field of research at the OVC is non-foodborne zoonoses, as well as International ecosystem health projects being carried out in Nepal and the Western Amazon lowlands. Public Health has long been at the core of the OVC, leading to the establishment of the Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses on campus.
