Nancy Burton-Wurster (1941– 2006) was a senior scientist at the Baker Institute for 25 years. Her research made major contributions to the Institute’s program in canine hip dysplasia. Working closely with her longtime colleague, Dr. George Lust, Nancy was an author or co-author on 65 peer-reviewed scientiﬁc papers and 10 invited book chapters. Highly respected in the scientiﬁc community at Cornell and beyond, Nancy is remembered as an astute, dedicated researcher, and as a fair and equitable supervisor who created a positive and optimistic laboratory environment. This Annual Report is dedicated to her memory.

D E A R F R I E N D S , This report provides an introduction to the many vital projects underway at the Institute. I am particularly pleased to report on some of the accomplishments achieved by new members of our faculty. In 2005 Dr. John Parker was named a Burroughs Wellcome Investigator in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease, the first veterinarian to garner this distinction. Dr. Alex Travis was awarded the Institute’s first award from the United States Agency for International Development; Dr. Travis’s work links economic development in rural Zambia with wildlife conservation. In 2006 Dr. Susana Mendez joined the Institute faculty as Assistant Professor of Immunology; Dr. Mendez is expert in two parasitic diseases: leishmaniasis and hookworm infection, which afflict both dogs and people in developing countries. In today’s global society, these and other Baker Institute scientists are addressing critical issues in global health. Research advances in Baker Institute laboratories today are making a difference for tomorrow’s generation of companion animals.

The Institute’s biomedical engineering initiative is an exciting new venture. Since early 2006, three junior faculty members of the College of Engineering’s new Department of Biomedical Engineering have been resident at the Baker Institute. This enables the Institute’s veterinary scientists to work side-by-side with engineers in a unique interdisciplinary environment that holds promise for progress in many areas. The Baker Institute continues to attract a highly talented cadre of graduate students and post-doctoral scientists. Thanks to the generosity of Advisory Council member Joanne Bicknese, two Baker Institute post-graduate students were awarded the Bicknese Family Prize in recognition of their outstanding performance. The Institute has long been a site for technological innovation, and this tradition continues. Over the past decade the Institute has played an important role in the Horse Genome Project; in 2006, this culminated in the complete DNA sequencing of the genome. In coming years, this important advance will lead to many applications in equine health. I am pleased to share the good news that Dr. Michael Kotlikoff, chair of the Veterinary College’s Department of Biomedical Sciences, has been appointed to serve as the new Dean of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell. Dr. Kotlikoff, who succeeds Dean Donald F. Smith, will begin his term on July 1. We look forward to working with him. Finally, with fondness, I must record the passing of Dr. Nancy Burton-Wurster. Her dedication to the Institute’s program in canine hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis constitutes a twenty-five year legacy that will long be remembered. Thank you for your continuing support of our programs. Our work is made possible through your devotion to animals and science.

E Q U I N E I M M U N O L O G Y, G E N E T I C S A N D R E P R O D U C T I O N Equine researchers have a new tool in their toolbox: the complete sequence of the horse genome. Realized years earlier than expected, the horse sequence is critical to the development of lifesaving vaccines and therapeutic drugs for horses and will facilitate ground-breaking research—some of which will be applicable to other mammalian species as well. Many important equine diseases, such as chronic respiratory disease, a number of immune deficiency conditions, and a variety of musculoskeletal disorders are known to have a significant genetic component.

Wagner Senior Research Associate Amanda de Mestre Postdoctoral Associate Leela Noronha Post-DVM PhD Candidate Rebecca L. Tallmadge PhD Candidate Donald C. Miller Research Support Specialist Christina Costa Research Technician Julie Hillegas Research Technician

The determination of the equine genome sequence culminates a decade of collaborative research by an international consortium of horse geneticists. The effort has been funded by the Havemeyer Foundation, the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund for Equine Research, the Morris Animal Foundation, and the US Department of Agriculture. In 2006, with new support from the National Institutes of Health, the entire genome sequence was completed at MIT’s Broad Institute, a national center for high-throughput DNA sequencing. The sequence was cracked with DNA from Twilight, a three-year-old Thoroughbred in Cornell’s stable whose sire and dam were handpicked based on their DNA. Twilight is the fourth generation in Dr. Doug Antczak’s twenty-five-year-old breeding program and was selected after she was found to have a very narrow gene pool, effectively guaranteeing the highest degree of control in the sequencing process. Twilight’s sire and dam shared identical copies of genes that comprise the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). The equine MHC contains many genes essential to the immune system, a focus of the Antczak lab. With this narrowed, homozygous gene pool, Twilight was an ideal candidate for the sequencing initiative. “Working with Dr. Antczak has provided me with a unique opportunity to further develop my skills as both a research scientist and an equine veterinarian,” said Dr. Amanda de Mestre, a postdoctoral associate in the lab. “An important feature of the Antczak lab is the palpable esprit de corps. All trainees, ranging from undergraduates to postdoctoral associates, comment on the supportive, stimulating, and inclusive learning environment present in the laboratory. Not only have I had the opportunity to develop my interests and knowledge in pregnancy immunology, but I have also played an active role in the veterinary care and management of a large equine research herd.”

Roundworms, or nematodes, are significant causes of diseases in animals, yet relatively little is known about how they sustain themselves within the animals that they infect. Dr. Judy Appletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research aims to elucidate and exploit the ways by which the hostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune response interferes with parasitism by nematodes.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND IMMUNOLOGY The symbiotic relationship between roundworms and their host—whether that host is a pig, polar bear or myriad other animals—may eventually offer insights into chronic diseases that afflict humans, like arthritis and diabetes. In Dr. Judith Appleton’s lab, she and her team study the immunological response to chronic infection caused by roundworms. Judith A. Appleton, PhD Alfred H. Caspary Professor of Immunology Susan K. Bliss Research Associate Michael S. Duffy Research Associate Maria Valeria Fabre Postdoctoral Associate Daniel P. Beiting PhD Candidate Lisa P. Daley PhD Candidate Seana M. Thrasher Post-DVM PhD Candidate Lucille F. Gagliardo Research Technician

“It’s a fascinating case of accommodation,” said Dr. Appleton. “The Trichinella spiralis parasite thrives in its host, despite the host’s efforts to attack it with an immune response.” Because the parasite is so large—reaching up to one millimeter and thirty microns—it is actually in the best interest of the animal that the immune response does not render the roundworm powerless. To destroy it would also mean injuring a significant portion of the host’s tissue. Thus, it appears that the animal and parasite tolerate each other through a closely regulated immune response. It is this adaptation that intrigues Dr. Appleton, who is conducting her research with funding from the National Institutes of Health. She and her team have focused their efforts on understanding how Interleukin 10, a protein that inhibits the creation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, performs in normal mice. With this information, it may be possible to understand how the host and parasite survive one another. Recently published research from the Appleton lab focused on Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, commonly referred to as the meningeal worm, which lives in the brains of white-tailed deer found in the northeast. In the deer population, the worm does not cause sickness. However, infective larvae are introduced into the environment through the deer’s waste. These larvae develop in intermediate hosts—snails and slugs—that can transmit the disease to other animals, such as sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas. While white-tailed deer seem resistant to the worm’s destructive powers, in other animal populations, the worm often wanders into the spinal cord and causes traumatic and unrepairable injury, sometimes reducing the animal to a state of paralysis. This original research was funded by the Morris Animal Foundation. Dr. Appleton expects that future research will continue the lab’s commitment to finding a vaccine capable of preventing the meningeal worm from causing disease in animals.

Once restricted to tropical and subtropical-type climates, visceral leishmaniasis is a progressive wasting disease in dogs and humans that is fatal if left untreated. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Susana Mendez is developing vaccines for leishmaniasis as well as conducting genetic studies to identify genes that confer susceptibility or resistance to the disease.

PA R A S I T E I M M U N O L O G Y Dr. Susana Mendez and her team are intent on preventing the spread of leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal disease among dogs and humans. Time is of the essence, as environmental factors like global warming and increased travel to endemic areas have given flight to the sand fly vector—instrumental in the spread of the disease.

Susana Mendez, DVM, PhD Assistant Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases Wenhui Wu Postdoctoral Associate Julie Jordan Research Technician

Once restricted to tropical and subtropical-type climates, visceral leishmaniasis is a progressive wasting disease in dogs and humans that is fatal if left untreated. Sand flies spread the disease, just as mosquitoes spread other diseases, infecting dogs and humans with a parasite that affects liver, spleen and kidneys and eventually results in organ failure. Infected dogs are a risk for humans since they are considered the reservoir of the disease. Unfortunately, since visceral leishmaniasis is so new to North America and symptoms can take up to two years to appear, it is often undetected. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Mendez is developing vaccines for leishmaniasis as well as conducting genetic studies to identify genes that confer susceptibility or resistance to the disease. In addition, she is working on several aspects of the host-parasite relationship, with a special emphasis on infection and transmission in endemic areas and in New York state. “Growing up in Spain, a trip to the veterinarian with a sick dog with nonspecific symptoms usually meant testing for leishmaniasis and often disappointment if the tests were positive,” said Dr. Mendez, explaining that, even if treated, most dogs invariably relapse. “Dogs are our friends, our families, and sometimes, our lifelines. The human and canine vaccines against cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis that my team is working on will add rewarding years to these relationships. The disease is gaining stronger holds— both geographically and in species. More than one thousand soldiers have returned from Iraq infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis. Finding effective treatments and successful preventive methods are no longer ‘nice because they will help humans and man’s best friend.’ They are necessary because North America is now feeling the effects of this potentially fatal disease.”

Dr. John Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lab is improving our understanding of viruses, including the structure, function, and dynamics of reovirus factories, the mechanisms of reovirusinduced apoptosis, and several aspects of the pathogenesis and biology of feline caliciviruses.

The weapons, reoviruses, specifically target and kill cancer cells in mice, a species often used as the model for human health issues.

“We want to know how reoviruses attack mutated cells, so that we can better control the process,” said Dr. Parker. “We hypothesize that when one particular viral protein is expressed, it kills the cells using apoptosis, a process that does not invoke pain or stimulate the immune system.”

However, when an infection is present, the viral protein changes so that apoptosis is delayed until after viral replication.

“Viruses have evolved to a point where they can control when they kill the cell,” said Dr. Parker. “This ensures the virus’s ability to replicate. Our work has the potential to help explain how the virus regulates and kills the cell.” Dr. Parker funds this work with support from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Program in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease. The National Institutes for Health is funding related work: exploring what portion of a cell’s biology the virus uses to replicate itself and assemble new viral particles. This knowledge could provide insight into options for either stopping the virus in its tracks or creating an agent designed to kill specific cells. In other virus-related research, Dr. Parker studies feline caliciviruses. Certain strains of this virus can cause a nasty disease that kills up to 60% of infected cats. Although the regular strain of the virus causes no more than the sniffles, newer strains have cropped up in the last decade that cause facial swelling, ulcerations, and more seriously, disease of organs such as the liver and pancreas. To understand the genesis of these new virus strains, Dr. Parker’s team has compared the growth properties and genetic differences between the less virulent common strains of feline calicivirus and the new more dangerous strains. Results of their research, which indicate that the more severe strains grow faster in tissue culture, have been accepted for publication in the Journal of General Virology. Currently, the team is investigating how the virus bonds to its receptor at the atomic level.

Parvoviruses cause widespread and serious disease in humans and other animals. Dr. Colin Parrish and his team study the canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus, which are 99.5% identical in DNA sequence, but differ in host range because of mutations.

A L B E R T C . B O S T W I C K L A B O R AT O R Y OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Dr. Colin Parrish and his team know their goal: to better understand how viruses function and how viruses stay in their particular hosts and do not (usually) infect other animals. The opportunities for researching this are endless: different viruses, different species. But the Parrish lab has set its sights on understanding the evolution of host range changes, and more specifically, the evolution of the canine parvovirus. Colin Parrish, PhD John M. Olin Professor of Virology Carole E. Harbison DVM/PhD Candidate Karin Hoelzer Post-DVM PhD Candidate Christian Nelson PhD Candidate Laura M. Palermo PhD Candidate Karla M. Stucker DVM/PhD Candidate Wendy S. Weichert Research Support Specialist Erin Bennett Research Technician Gail M. Sullivan Research Technician

When a virus moves from one species to another, the host range has changed. Prior to the 1970s, the parvovirus that we now know as canine parvovirus was found only among cats. Today, the parvovirus is found among dogs, a variety of relatives of dogs, and throughout the world, with different forms of the virus appearing in different geographic regions. Parvoviruses cause widespread and serious disease in humans and other animals. The Parrish team studies the canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus, which are 99.5% identical in DNA sequence, but differ in host range because of mutations. “The parvovirus is a very good model for exploring virus evolution,” said Dr. Parrish. “Some new variations of the canine parvovirus have spread around the world in a matter of a few months, which suggests that those mutations must be in the best interest of the virus. It is able to spread and infect more efficiently.” Using the feline virus as the control, Dr. Parrish employs DNA sequence analysis (also known as DNA fingerprinting) to study the genome of the virus, looking for changes that correspond to changes in the properties of the virus. “These property changes will shed light on how a virus like avian influenza evolves to a point where it can infect another species,” said Dr. Parrish. “In addition, as viruses change, new vaccines become necessary. To develop them, though, we must know how the virus has mutated.” Current research indicates that the canine virus differs from the feline virus in its ability to bind to the outside of the cell. This binding and uptake allows the viral particle to make its way through the complex pathways to the nucleus, where it replicates. “We’re looking at the infection process,” said Dr. Parrish. “How does the virus particle recognize the receptor and how does it penetrate the cell? We hope to find these and other answers using molecular and structural biology and genetics.” Dr. Parrish’s work is funded by the National Institutes of Health. 11

Researchers in Dr. Gregory Aclandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lab have concentrated in two main areas: gene mapping, identifying mutations, developing diagnostic tests, and characterizing the organisms related to canine hereditary retinal degenerations; and developing and evaluating, in canine models, potential therapies for human retinal degenerative diseases.

INHERITED EYE DISEASE STUDIES UNIT During 2005 and 2006, Dr. Gregory Acland closed in on two goals: developing tests that can effectively reduce or eliminate blindness in briards, and contributing to work towards a cure for at least one human disease.

Hammond Research Technician

His interest in genetics is at the root of work that produced the first map of the canine genome. Using this map, scientists have a tool to find genes and mutations that lead to a significant number of hereditary eye diseases in dogs. Recently, the map was instrumental in identifying the genes that cause blindness in briards. With this information, genetic tests are used to identify affected and carrier dogs before they are bred, eliminating blindness from future generations. “The results of this work are world-confirmed,” said Dr. Acland. “We are rapidly heading toward applications that will improve the quality of life for humans as well.” Researchers in Dr. Acland’s lab have concentrated in two main areas: gene mapping, identifying mutations, developing diagnostic tests, and characterizing the mechanisms related to canine hereditary retinal degenerations; and developing and evaluating, in canine models, potential therapies for human retinal degenerative diseases. In other work, Dr. Acland and Dr. Anna Kukekova are exploring whether behavior is a choice or if it has been genetically programmed into an animal’s DNA. Using foxes, the Acland/Kukekova team is building on more than a half-century’s worth of research to determine if behavior is directly related to an animal’s genetic composition. Using silver foxes, researchers have determined that after only forty generations, these otherwise wild animals can be bred for domesticity. “We have an opportunity to unravel the mystery of complex behavior,” said Dr. Acland, who has partnered with scientists from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Department of Biology at the University of Utah. “Through our investigations into the relationship between genes and behavior, we are rapidly closing in on genes that do, in fact, influence and change behavior.”

A common thread in Dr. Vicki Meyers-Wallenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is a search for gene mutations that cause inherited disorders. With this information, her team can develop practical tests to identify which animals carry the mutations. Test results will allow dog breeders to avoid mating animals that carry mutations and prevent production of offspring with these disorders.

L A B O R AT O R Y F O R T H E S T U D Y O F I N H E R I T E D CANINE REPRODUCTIVE DISEASES Research conducted in 2005 and 2006 is leading Dr. Vicki Meyers-Wallen’s lab closer to identifying the gene causing hermaphrodites (Sry-negative XX sex reversal). “Individuals affected with this inherited disorder do not have a Y chromosome, yet they develop testes and develop physically as males or true hermaphrodites. Our work has identified a small area on one chromosome that likely contains the gene mutation.” Vicki Meyers-Wallen, VMD, PhD Associate Professor of Genetics and Reproduction Shashikant Pujar Postdoctoral Associate Roxanne Van Wormer Research Support Specialist

Exploring sex reversal issues is one area of Dr. Meyers-Wallen’s work. A common thread is a search for gene mutations that cause inherited disorders. With this information, the team can develop practical tests to identify which animals carry the mutations. Test results will allow dog breeders to avoid mating animals that carry mutations and prevent production of offspring with these disorders. To that end, a second area of her team’s research is the genetic basis for the failure of testis descent in males (cryptorchidism). With colleagues at Baylor College (Texas), the group is analyzing samples from canine families to search for the causative genes. In addition, the lab is investigating a hypothesis that would explain why males sometimes develop female reproductive organs. The proposed theory suggests that a mutation inactivates a protein that normally prevents such development in males. Many of the methods used in Dr. Meyers-Wallen’s lab are applicable to investigating other genetic disorders. For instance, a current partnership with Dr. Sharon Center, a Professor in Cornell’s Department of Clinical Sciences, is exploring the genetic basis for abnormal blood vessel development in the liver in some terrier breeds. Born with this condition, these terriers have a reduced ability to detoxify the blood, which is a serious health problem. “We have had encouraging results in these studies,” said Dr. Meyers-Wallen. “The ultimate goal is to develop tests that will enable breeders to eliminate or reduce the frequency of this problem.” Dr. Meyers-Wallen’s work is funded by the National Institutes of Health. Genetic studies have also been conducted in part through competitive application to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Mammalian Genotyping Service at the Marshfield Medical Research Foundation.

Dr. Alex Travis’s work on reproduction and conserving our environment has taken him to the Luangwa Valley in Zambia, where poachers have reduced the populations of native animals, sometimes to the point of local extinction. Leading a multidisciplinary team of ﬁfteen Cornell scientists to test and optimize a major project run by the Wildlife Conservation Society, Dr. Travis’s efforts are helping conserve African biodiversity by focusing on eliminating hunger and poverty in ways directly linked to sustainable natural resource management strategies.

REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY Dr. Alexander Travis is interested in conservation, and his work ranges from the study of the single cells involved in fertilization, to the preservation of populations and species. He and his team have a particular focus on the development and function of the male sperm cell, and have recently developed a patented test that allows researchers to look at a population of sperm and determine if it is responding to the stimuli for fertilization in a normal fashion. Alexander J. Travis, VMD, PhD “Doctors can use this information to counsel infertile couples,” said Dr. Travis, who Assistant Professor of Reproductive Biology Atsushi Asano Postdoctoral Associate Fiona Hollinshead Postdoctoral Associate Chinatsu Mukai Kazama Postdoctoral Associate Danielle Buttke DVM/PhD Candidate Yeun-Hee (Yoni) Kim PhD Candidate Vimal Selvaraj Post-DVM PhD Candidate Jacque Nelson Research Support Specialist

explained that the tools for understanding male fertility have not changed in decades. “Several options exist in assistive reproduction, but depending on the level of function of the sperm, one option may be more effective than another. Our assay can potentially help guide clinicians to choose the best approach.” For animals, the assay can be used in agriculture or to help breed endangered species. In related studies, Dr. Travis’s team also works on the stem cells that produce the cells that become sperm. In one technique, they use mice to grow sperm from other animals such as cats or ferrets. This approach can have enormous applications for the conservation of endangered species in captivity. “Animals of high genetic value may die before reaching puberty,” Dr. Travis said. “These animals are not mature enough to produce sperm. Their stem cells, though, can be collected, and through several approaches, we can have them produce sperm, which could then be used to pass on genetic information that would otherwise be lost forever.” The team’s next step is to determine if these harvested sperm will create healthy offspring. If so, consider the advantage not only for wildlife, but also for a young man who must undergo chemotherapy and expects to lose his fertility.

Hip dysplasia is prevalent in large breeds of dogs, like this Labrador Retriever, although the disease has been found in toy breeds as well. Symptoms of the disease may include a swaying and unsteady gait or a tendency to draw the hind legs forward, placing more weight on the forelimbs. When dogs with hip dysplasia run, you may notice a tendency for the hind legs to move in harmony.

HIP DYPSLASIA AND OSTEOARTHRITIS Researchers in Dr. George Lust’s laboratory are on track to improve the understanding of hip dysplasia at the gene level and expect to uncover accurate techniques to diagnose and treat the disease with further investigation. Hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip joint that results in joint damage, inflammation, and pain. Dr. Lust’s research is focused on dogs, but his work has the potential to offer significant insights into similar diseases suffered by other mammals, including humans.

Over the course of the last two years, in collaboration with Dr. Rory Todhunter and Dr. Nancy Burton-Wurster, Dr. Lust’s efforts have focused on four areas with the potential to provide a deeper understanding of hip dysplasia. Researchers have confirmed three methods that can be used in genetic and pathogenetic studies that accurately identify puppies that are not at risk for developing hip dysplasia. The first two methods—the distraction index and the dorsolateral subluxation test— measure distances between key points in the hip region. The third method—similar to tests that pediatricians use—involves manipulation of the hip joint to check for a clicking sound. In addition, Dr. Lust and his team are looking for genetic markers and genes that can be associated with either normal or abnormal hip joints. “We have made exciting progress in this area as we have identified a strategic marker in a dog’s DNA,” said Dr. Lust. “By monitoring its behavior and specifically looking for the tendency to segregate, we can predict an abnormality. Currently, this work looks at just one possible gene on one possible chromosome. Future work will focus on other genes and chromosomes.”

Unfortunately, little is known about the development of osteoarthritis, which is linked with hip dysplasia, as its effects are not typically felt until the disease has firmly established itself. Dr. Lust’s team has identified five genes that are involved within minutes of the development of the disease. This information may illustrate options for effective prevention techniques. Finally, the Lust research team has developed a test that measures for the presence of the cartilage-fibronectin structural molecule in the blood. The molecule’s presence suggests that cartilage is degenerating, a sign of osteoarthritis. Dr. Lust’s research is funded by the Morris Animal Foundation and Pfizer Incorporated. He expects that future work will focus on substantiating these findings.

B I O M E D I C A L E N G I N E E R I N G I N I T I AT I V E Strokes can be life-altering. Unfortunately, few effective treatments or preventative strategies exist. Chris Schaffer and his research team are helping to relieve this deficit by developing animal models of small-scale strokes that allow the progression of strokecausing diseases to be studied and provide a platform for the evaluation of therapeutics. Collaborative research between the Baker Institute for Animal Health and the Department of Biomedical Engineering improves health care for animals and humans.

“Our goal is to produce small-scale strokes and monitor what happens to the blood flow and to neurons that are behind a clot,” said Dr. Schaffer, a faculty member from biomedical engineering who collaborates with the Baker Institute for Animal Health. “We have uncovered some interesting data that are not intuitive. For instance, we have learned that it is worse for a patient if a clot develops in a capillary. More redundancy exists in higher levels of the vascular hierarchy and this enables the blood flow to continue.” To develop models of small-scale strokes and address fundamental questions, the team uses in vivo two-photon fluorescence microscopy to image the network of blood vessels in the brain and quantify blood flow. “Our work consistently pushes technology and requires new techniques,” said Dr. Schaffer. “With these advantages, we have the potential to affect human health.” Likewise, Dr. Moonsoo Jin, also from biomedical engineering, is working with the Baker Institute to improve health care options. His research studies protein/protein interactions that are associated with diseases, and develops molecules for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. One of the diagnostic applications is engineering proteins that—when attached to nanoparticles—can find tumors. “Nanoparticles can be seen by the MRI, but they can’t find tumors,” said Dr. Jin. “Proteins can find abnormal cells, but cannot be seen by an MRI. Together, they have the potential to illustrate life-threatening issues far sooner than we can do today.” The next step, according to Dr. Jin, is to attach therapeutic drugs to nanoparticles and direct them to infected cells. “This method of targeted delivery could greatly improve chemotherapy treatments, for example.” Dr. Schaffer’s research is funded by the Ellison Medical Foundation and through start-up funds from Cornell. This university-level seed funding also supports Dr. Jin’s research.

B U T L E R F A M I LY P A V I L I O N D E D I C A T I O N On Friday, September 29, 2006, the Butler Family Pavilion at the McConville Barn site was dedicated with many Butler family children, grandchildren, and friends in attendance. Honoring the memory of Mollie and Karl Butler, the pavilion provides cover from summer sun and rain and serves as a site for lab meetings, classes, and demonstration lectures to students, Cornell alumni, and to horsemen and horsewomen who visit Cornell. Longtime Ithaca residents, the Butlers were friends of the Institute for most of the past twenty years, on both professional and personal levels. They met as graduate students at Cornell and settled in Ithaca. Mollieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GlanNant line of Welsh ponies became nationally known for their calm temperament, outstanding conformation, and performance. In addition, Baker Institute students worked with Mollieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s herd to produce the first successful embryo transfer in Welsh ponies. The pavilion is the most recent in a series of Butler family gifts to the Baker Institute for Animal Health. Donations from the Butler family funded the Butler Hay Barn in the Kleberg Barn complex in 1992, and in 1993, the Institute dedicated the Butler Knoll with a patio on the McConville Barn site. In 1996 a bench was dedicated in the Cornell Plantations in memory of Mollie, and in 1999 an interpretive sign was designed and installed at the border of the Plantations and the McConville Barn. The bench is the only seat in the Plantations that faces outward, away from the botanical collections and toward the horses grazing on the other side of the nearby fence. The sign contains a panel giving a short history of the McConville Barn and its current use. Butler family members and friends enjoying the dedication.

AWARDS The Arthur F. North, Jr. Canine Service Award 2006

Founders Award 2006

The North Award, established in 1982 by friends of the late Arthur F. North, a 1935 graduate of Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, recognizes those whose contributions to the improvement of animal health and well-being reflect Dr. North’s spirit of concern for all animals.

The Institute’s Founders Award honors veterinarians who have made outstanding contributions to their profession and to society. In 2006 Dr. Joanne Bicknese, CALS ‘76, DVM ‘78, MS, ELS, was the 2006 Founders Award recipient. Dr. Bicknese, dynamic and engaging, is a graduate of Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Early in her career she worked in private equine practice, but for most of the past twenty years Dr. Bicknese has held important positions in several pharmaceutical companies, including Merck and Co. Inc., Pharmacia Animal Health, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, where she currently serves as Director/Principal Documentation Lead for Global Documentation & Dossier Management. Dr. Bicknese is responsible for documentation sent to health authorities worldwide in support of various new and marketed human pharmaceutical products.

Mrs. Ellen Frenkel received this award in 2006 in recognition of her lifelong, inspiring commitment to improving animal health. Mrs. Frenkel, a breeder of champion Whippets, is a strong leader in the canine world. Through her impressive and varied activities, she makes a real difference in the lives of those we love, both animal and human. Mrs. Frenkel is a highly sought-after national and international dog show judge who is currently approved to judge thirteen hound breeds and particularly enjoys assignments that include her favorite breed: the Whippets. She is recognized among members of the dog community as a person with the highest standards of personal and professional ethics. She is a member of the Board of the Greenwich Kennel Club and plays a major role in many of their club-affiliated shows and projects. Additionally, she was a charter donor and supporter to Shelter Outreach Services, a nonprofit program that provides subsidized spay/neuter services for shelter and low-income family pets.

Dr. Bicknese is a member of the President’s Council of Cornell Women, the Cornell University Council, and a former member of the Cornell Alumni Trustee Nominating Committee. She has also served on the College of Veterinary Medicine Development Committee. She is a Trustee of The Seeing Eye in Morristown, New Jersey, whose mission is to enhance the independence, dignity, and self-confidence of blind people through the use of Seeing Eye dogs. She is also a former director of the Monmouth County Hunt. In addition to her love for horses and German Shepherds, Joanne is passionate about breeding and showing registered Boer goats. Dr. Bicknese has been a member of the Baker Institute’s Advisory Council since 1998. She served as Chair of the Council from 2000 through 2006 and in 2005 established the Bicknese Family Prize for women trainees at the Institute.

2006 EVENTS Canine Health Seminars Held in South Carolina In March 2006, the Baker Institute presented a day-long canine health seminar to the Beaufort Kennel Club in Beaufort, SC. The presentations focused on canine eye and skin diseases and were led by Baker Institute researchers, Drs. Greg Acland and Susana Mendez, and Dr. Kathy MacLeod of Lexington, Kentucky. The event attracted more than forty participants, all interested in learning more about current research programs at the Baker Institute. Canine Cancer Seminar on Long Island In April 2006, the Long Island Golden Retriever Club learned the latest findings about canine cancer, one of the most devastating health problems facing dogs today. Dr. Margaret McEntee, Cornell faculty member and veterinary oncologist, shared information about diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The event was co-sponsored by the Baker Institute and Advisory Council member Judy Wilpon. A Day at the Mets In June 2006, New York Mets owners Judy and Fred Wilpon hosted members of the Baker Institute Advisory Council and supporters from the Metro New York area at the Mets vs. Baltimore Orioles baseball game. Judy is

a long-time member of the Advisory Council and Baker Institute friend. Approximately sixty people attended the event, which began with dinner, and concluded with an entertaining game between two great teams. Barbaro Panel Discussion Held in Philadelphia In November 2006, Dr. Doug Antczak was a member of a panel discussion entitled Evolution of the Racehorse: The Barbaro Story held at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia. The second in a series of three lectures supporting the museum’s Darwin exhibition, the panel examined how the racehorse has evolved over time and how Barbaro’s unique characteristics and behavior figured in his racing success. At the 2006 Kentucky Derby he suffered injuries that prematurely ended his racing career, despite heroic efforts to rehabilitate his injuries. During this long fight, Barbaro exhibited rare qualities of fortitude, strength of will, and character. His death was a great loss to the racing community and horse lovers all over the world. Best in Show: The Dog in Art from the Renaissance to Today In November 2006, more than fifty people attended an event at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Hosted by the Baker Institute for Animal Health, Cornell’s Cayuga Society, and the Cornell Southwest/Mountain Regional Office, the event included a private, guided tour of the exhibition Best in Show: The Dog in Art from the Renaissance to Today, and a special presentation by Dr. Doug Antczak. In his presentation, Dr. Antczak discussed the genetic make-up of various dog breeds, and advances in human and animal health discovered through studies of man’s best friend.

2005 EVENTS Dallas Cornell Club Presentation In April 2005, Dr. Doug Antczak presented From Bioterrorism to Organ Transplants: Your Immune System’s New Challenges in the 21st Century, to Cornell alumni in the Southwest/Mountain Region. During the luncheon presentation, Dr. Antczak explained the immune system’s participation in protecting against infectious diseases, responding to vaccinations, fighting autoimmune diseases and allergies, and rejecting or accepting organ transplants. The discussion concluded with ethical considerations: can and should animals be genetically modified to serve as organ donors for humans? Equine Consortium Panel – Morris Animal Foundation In May 2005, Dr. Doug Antczak facilitated a workshop designed to develop a structure for consortium funding for equine research. The workshop led to the implementation of the Morris Animal Foundation Equine Consortium Program. The initial grant in this program, awarded in 2007, was $2.5 million. This grant will allow veterinary scientists to utilize the information in the whole genome sequence for applications in equine medicine and surgery. World Equine Airway Symposium In July 2005, the Baker Institute and the Dorothy Russell Havemeyer Foundation were co-sponsors of the World Equine Airway Symposium, the major forum on lung disease of the horse. More than one hundred scientists met at Cornell University for three days to share ideas and practical experience in treating equine lung disease.

Cornell Life Sciences in Greenwich, Connecticut In September 2005, Dr. Doug Antczak and Dr. Phillip R. Reilly ’69, CEO of Interleukin Genetics, presented Can We Control our Destiny? Exploring the Power and Perils of Molecular Biology to Cornell alumni. The dinner and presentation, hosted by Peter B. Orthwein ’68 and Beverly Orthwein, was held at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, CT.

The Baker Institute Memorial Gift Program Many people learn of the Baker Institute when their veterinarian makes a gift to the Institute in memory of a pet that has passed away. We receive many wonderful letters from these pet owners telling us tales of their beloved pets, their antics, and their illnesses. These tribute gifts from the veterinarians, and also the pet owners, provide the muchneeded funds to support our very successful research programs. We are working hard so that all of our pets may live longer, more diseasefree lives. A complete listing of our participating veterinarians and clinics is on pages 56-58.

MEMORIAL GIFT PROGRAM: We Extend Our Gratitude to Participating Veterinarians

Our success in discovering ways to improve animal health through research is dependent, in large measure, upon our association with practicing veterinarians who keep our faculty and staff aware of important problems in veterinary medicine. The Institute’s Memorial Gift Program is a valuable vehicle for facilitating communications between research environment and practice. New treatments and techniques—such as gene therapy, genetic testing, and counseling for inherited diseases—are advanced through support from this program.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the following veterinarians and animal care practices for their contributions to the Institute’s Memorial Gift Program in 2006 and 2005.

DEAR DONORS

We bring you greetings from the Baker Institute Advisory Council. In September 2006 we A N D F R I E N D S , were appointed the chair and vice chair of the twenty-three member Advisory Council. Following in the footsteps of Dr. Joanne Bicknese and Dr. Roy Pollock, the previous chair and vice chair, our role is to provide leadership to a council that offers guidance and feedback to the Institute director and staff on all areas of Institute operations. Members of the Council have a wide variety of expertise in scientific research for animals and humans, veterinary practice, kennel clubs, business operations, fundraising, and event planning. For more than

half a century, the Baker Institute has supported a unique veterinary research environment based upon the highest scientific principles and standards.

For more than half a century, the Baker Institute has supported a unique veterinary research environment based upon the highest scientific principles and standards. This commitment to excellence has resulted in many important practical advances in veterinary medicine, ranging from the development of vaccines for canine parvovirus, hepatitis, and distemper and control methods for these and other infectious diseases, to genetic tests that are being used to eradicate inherited disorders such as eye diseases. In their work, Baker Institute faculty train the next generation of veterinary scientists, ensuring that the health challenges of the future will be met by highly qualified, dedicated professionals. In fact, seven veterinary college deans and two university presidents have trained at the Institute in the last fifty years. Today, the Institute remains committed to its original purpose: to add to the understanding of animal diseases and disorders and to find the means to control their spread. The members of the Advisory Council strongly endorse and enthusiastically support the Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term commitment to this purpose and to continued scientific excellence. In a world full of uncertainties, the Baker Institute represents our best hope for continued progress in animal health. Thank you again for all that you do to support the Baker Institute and its goal to be the leading institution in animal health research worldwide. Your contribution has a very meaningful impact in achieving that goal and, thereby, directly influencing the improved health and wellness of our beloved pets.
