Message from the Associate Dean

SVM Associate Dean K.C. Kent Lloyd

As a Veterinary Scientist Training Program (VSTP) scholar, you will find a wide variety of doctoral training programs in the biological sciences on the UC Davis campus. UC Davis continues to award more PhDs in the biological sciences than any other university in the United States. Prospective dual-degree students can choose from mentors within the School of Veterinary Medicine, School of Medicine, School of Engineering, College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, or the Division of Biological Sciences. In addition, the resource assets of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, the UC Davis Medical Center, the California National Primate Research Center, the NCI-designated Cancer Center, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Center for Biophotonics, the Center for Neuroscience, the Center for Comparative Medicine, the Mouse Biology Program, and 25+ additional organized research units, centers, and programs all contribute to the research enterprise in support of the VSTP. This depth of resources and collaborative opportunities enable scholars here to pursue "bench to bedside" and “farm to fork” research programs in a broad range of areas ranging from cancer biology and emerging infectious diseases to biomedical engineering and functional genomics.
