The Dog Aging Project: Genetic And Environmental Determinants Of Healthy Aging In Companion Dogs

• The overarching goals of this U19 are 1) to define aging in dogs through novel indices of frailty, comorbidity and inflammaging; 2) to explain aging in dogs by discovering the genetic and environmental factors that influence aging, and by identifying intermediate molecular traits—metabolome, microbiome, and epigenome—through which this influence unfolds; and 3) to intervene in aging, in the first double-blind, placebo-controlled veterinary clinical trial to assess the effects of a promising drug, rapamycin, on lifespan and healthspan in companion dogs.
• Role: Chief Veterinary Officer, member of Executive Leadership Team, Co-PI

Private Award, William H. Donner Foundation Kaeberlein (PI) 6/30/16 - 6/30/19

Phase II Study of Rapamycin in Aging Companion Dogs

• The goal of this project is to perform a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial in healthy dogs to test the hypothesis that rapamycin increases healthspan in middle-aged companion dogs.
• Role: Co-PI

First Award, Morris Animal Foundation Coleman (PI) 8/21/14 - 1/1/19

Short- and Intermediate-Term Efficacy of Telmisartan for the Treatment of Persistent Canine Renal Proteinuria.

• The goal of this study is to compare the effects of standard and novel therapy on spontaneous proteinuria in pet dogs.
