Of Mice, Dogs, and Men | Cheryl London | TEDxOhioStateUniversity

Because mice models are fairly homogenous, it is difficult to duplicate how cancers and thus cancer treatments affect on an individual basis. Dr. Cheryl London talks about her research with canine oncology, and how cancer research in dogs is more useful when adapting cancer treatments to humans. Like in humans, even the same type of cancer in dogs looks different from one individual to the next, so man’s best friend makes an excellent models to develop cancer therapies. Dr. London graduated from Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine in 1990, worked in private practice for 2 years in Maine, and then subsequently completed a residency in Medical Oncology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She then entered a Ph.D. program in Immunology at Harvard University and after graduating in 1999, was an Assistant Professor of Medical Oncology at UC Davis until 2005. She is currently a Professor in the Department of Veterinary Biosciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. London is the Director of the Clinical Trials Office at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Director of Translational Therapeutics at the Center for Clinical and Translational Science, and she holds the Thekla R. and Donald B. Shackelford Professorship in Canine Medicine. Her research interests center primarily around targeted therapeutics and translational/comparative oncology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
