Current Projects
The Jordan Laboratory works directly with the UC Davis Veterinary Center for Clinical Trials to manage research studies focused on skin and ear diseases of dogs, cats, horses, and other companion animal species.
Current studies we are actively recruiting for include:
Canine Cutaneous Epitheliotropic T-Cell Lymphoma
Canine Cutaneous Epitheliotropic T-cell Lymphoma (CETCL) is a rare but aggressive skin cancer in dogs, and sadly, most affected dogs live less than a year after diagnosis, even with chemotherapy. One major reason for this poor prognosis is that we don’t fully understand how the disease develops or progresses, which has made it difficult to create new, effective treatments. This study aims to change that. By analyzing the gene expression in dogs with CETCL, we hope to uncover key markers that could help diagnose the disease earlier, predict how it will progress, and track treatment effectiveness. Ultimately, our goal is to improve the way we diagnose and care for dogs with CETCL, giving them a better chance for a longer, healthier life.
