ONE TEAM
The RVC attracts talented veterinary and biological scientists, academics and students who work together in interdisciplinary teams. By collaborating with a wide range of partners, our community is able to make
real impact in tackling challenges that require the
One Health approach.
Our team collaborates with clinicians and researchers from all over the world to conduct ground-breaking research. We also work with other universities, industry and governments providing vital knowledge exchange and maximising the impact of that knowledge and the innovation that it drives.
Our undergraduate students benefit from exciting and challenging research opportunities by working alongside our experts. They are also exposed to the real-life application of research often working with clients, the profession, speaking at international conferences and interacting with corporate partners.
OUR IMPACT 5
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal human genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood. It is also fatal when
it occurs in dogs. RVC research into cutting- edge corrective therapies is predicted to bring benefits to both humans and dogs suffering from DMD.
Our specialist postgraduate programmes help us to develop future researchers and professionals with advanced knowledge who go on to work in industry, government and teaching, both within the UK and internationally.
The Hawkshead Campus development project will enable us to house our community in an environment that will encourage and build on this approach, at the same time as inspiring the next generation of clinicians and scientists.
