Bio/Research
Dr. Viloria-Petit laboratory focuses on understanding how normal and tumour cells communicate with the surrounding microenvironment, and how this contributes to cancer development, dissemination to distant organs (metastasis), and response to therapy.
Bone cancer (osteosarcoma) and certain mammary cancers are both prone to metastasize and behave similarly in dogs and humans. Dr. Viloria-Petit’s investigations aim to identify common mechanisms of metastasis for these cancers in dogs and humans, with the expectation that any impactful finding will be beneficial to both species.
Dr. Viloria-Petit is the co-founder of the Dog Osteosarcoma Group: Biomarkers of Neoplasia and Emerging Therapies (DOGBONe) interdisciplinary research platform at the Ontario Veterinary College.
