The WSU College of Veterinary Medicine ranked No. 6 among veterinary colleges nationally for National Institutes of Health research funding last year.
“The college has consistently ranked in the top 10 of veterinary colleges for over a decade,” said Jon Oatley, associate dean of research for the college. “Our success in garnering extramural research support is a reflection of the quality of basic and applied science conducted across all units that makeup our college.”
In the last three years, the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine twice ranked in the top 5 among 30 veterinary colleges for NIH funding in the United States. NIH is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world.

For decades, researchers have tried to develop an effective vaccine for
Babesia bovis, a tick-borne disease that annually kills millions of cattle worldwide.
According to research recently published in the International Journal for Parasitology, scientists at the Agricultural Research Service-United States Department of Agriculture and Washington State University may finally know where to start.
USDA-ARS tick-borne disease experts Drs Massaro Ueti and Carlos Suarez and support scientist Carl Johnson, in collaboration with WSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine, have identified which genes may be critically important to the survival and spread of the disease in ticks and mammals.
