Veterinary researchers to receive top accolade at graduation
Professor Craig Johnson and Professor John Munday are receiving the degree for their research.
Two veterinary scientists will each be awarded a Doctor of Science, one of the highest academic accolades, at Massey University’s Manawatū graduation this week.
Professor Craig Johnson and Professor John Munday are receiving the degree for their research into animal anaesthetics and animal cancer, respectively. They are among the more than 1000 students who will graduate across five ceremonies in Palmerston North this week.
A total of 1072 graduates will cross the stage, including 40 receiving doctoral degrees and 119 receiving master’s degrees at ceremonies held at the Regent on Broadway in Palmerston North. Ceremonies begin on the afternoon of 3 May and continue twice daily until 5 May.

SALT LAKE CITY - Utah researchers report significant new insights into the development of blood cancers. In work published today in
Blood Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, scientists describe an analysis of published data from more than 7,000 patients diagnosed with leukemia and other blood disorders. Their findings provide new clues about mutations that may initiate cancer development and those that may help cancer to progress.
The researchers sought to identify mutation hotspots, or frequent changes in specific locations of the cancer patients genetic information. The researchers then used these hotspots to look for whether the same mutations were present in the DNA data of more than 4,500 people who were not known to have a cancer diagnosis. They found that approximately 2 percent of these presumably healthy participants had, at low levels, mutat
