The VandeWoude Laboratory studies a variety of agents that infect domestic and nondomestic cats, most predominantly Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.
The mission of the VandeWoude Lab is to:
- Train undergraduate, graduate, pre- and post-DVM students, and post-doctoral fellows in modern techniques in molecular virology, with emphasis on experimental design, data interpretation, and accurate and fluent reporting of results.
- Strive to continuously develop new methodologies to apply to the research process.
- Facilitate productive and collaborative interactions between SVRG lab members and collaborators both internal and external to CSU.
- Extrapolate findings to whole animal and population health, in vivo relevance, and community/ecological impacts.
- Challenge existing dogma with an open mind and thoughtful approach.
- Generate enthusiasm and appreciation for the impact of well-considered scientific approaches on human and animal health and well-being.
- Provide a supportive, lively, challenging, cooperative and fun environment for scientific investigations in complementary disciplines.
