OUR IMPACT 6
Professor Roger Smith’s pioneering exploration and application of new treatment options
for tendon injuries in animals was applied to horses for the first time at the RVC. This has revolutionised the treatment of tendon injuries using stem cell therapy. Our scientists are now expanding our stem cell research to benefit dogs, cats and humans.
OUR IMPACT 7 Professor Dirk Werling, is working with collaborators from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), on the development and testing of a vaccine for Streptococcus suis, a disease capable of transmission from pigs to humans.
