Surgery, Emergency and Critical Care
Adrien Dupanloup, DVM, DACVIM (Neurology)
Assistant Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery
VM: Surgical & Radiological Sciences
(See also: Neurobiology/Neurology, Diagnostic Imaging)
My research centers on neurosurgery, with a focus on advancing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for intracranial diseases in companion animals. Student interested in clinical research in neurology and neurosurgery can be involved in studies involving perioperative diagnostic tests including MRI, CT, electroencephalography and cerebrospinal fluid analysis among others.

Sabrina Hoehne, DrVetMed, Diplomate ACVECC
Assistant Professor, Surgical & Radiological Sciences
I am an Assistant Professor of Clinical Veterinary Simulation and Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care Medicine at the VMTH. My clinical, teaching, and research interests center around the perception, performance, and patient outcomes in small animal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Cardiopulmonary arrest is the ultimate emergency and if the veterinary care team does not quickly intervene, it will inevitably lead to death. If, however, high-quality CPR is performed, some patients can achieve return of spontaneous circulation and be reunited with their families. My goals are therefore to investigate the use of simulation-based CPR training on technical and non-technical CPR skills, identifying barriers to high-quality CPR team performance, and to evaluate factors associated with CPR outcomes in veterinary medicine. Potential summer projects may include: 1) the investigation of different CPR cognitive aids on CPR performance in senior emergency and critical care veterinarians, 2) the effect of different cognitive aids on veterinarians’ abilities to identify different cardiac arrest rhythms, 3) participation in developing a veterinary specific tool to assess communication skills during CPR. These research projects will provide students with training in veterinary CPR, with the opportunity to assist in high-fidelity simulation scenario development and programming, operate high-fidelity veterinary manikins, and with practice in assessing technical and non-technical skills needed to provide high-quality CPR.
If you are interested in a STAR project, please contact Dr. Hoehne at [email protected].
Karl Jandrey, DVM, MAS
Karl Jandrey is a Professor of Clinical Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care.
Jandrey’s publications focus on topics in hemostasis and coagulation as well as scholar wellbeing and belonging. The later topic evolves from his work as the Associate Dean of Admissions and Student Programs where he is tasked to strategize and manage the team that provides all extracurricular support for all veterinary scholars at UC Davis.
Topics of interest and creative scholarly activity are: cats and dogs, hemostasis, point-of-care coagulation monitoring and assessment, platelet function, platelet biology and well-being and resilience, belonging, imposter phenomenon, and adverse childhood experiences.

Sarah le Jeune, DVM, CVA, Diplomate ACVS
Clinical Equine Emergency Surgery and Critical Care
Dr. le Jeune is an equine emergency surgeon with a strong interest in acupuncture. Research interests include studies investigating the effectiveness of acupuncture and clinical studies on various facets of equine gastro-intestinal diseases and other equine surgical conditions.

Aijun Wang, PhD
UC Davis Medical Center, Department of Surgery (see also: Translational Research, Orthopedics, Biochemistry)
Dr. Aijun Wang is a Chancellor's Fellow Professor of Surgery and of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). He is the Vice Chair for Translational Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship for the Department of Surgery, Co-founder and Co-Director of the Center for Surgical Bioengineering (CSB), formerly known as Surgical Bioengineering Laboratory, and Dean's Fellow in Entrepreneurship at the UC Davis School of Medicine. He is also a Principal Investigator at the Institute for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine (IPRM) / Shriners Children's Pediatric Research Center, Northern California. Dr. Wang’s research focuses on developing tools, technologies and products that combine molecular, cellular, tissue and biomaterial engineering to promote regeneration and restore function. Specifically, the Wang Group is focused on integrating single cell spatial multi-omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to study disease mechanisms and developmental process, and engineering stem cell/gene therapy, extracellular vesicles/nanomedicine, and extracellular matrix/biomaterial scaffolds to treat various surgical conditions and diseases. Dr. Wang and his team at CSB specialize in bringing therapeutics from bench to bedside, through innovative discovery, translational and IND-enabling studies, GMP manufacturing, and ultimately clinical trials in both human and companion animal patients.
