Graphic Purdue University | College of Veterinary Medicine Article of PVMโs Upcoming Coppoc One Health Lecture to Focus on Dogs as Sentinels of Environmental Exposure. With a picture of Dr. Audrey Ruple on the top (A woman with blonde hair smiles and rests her chin on her hand. She is wearing a blue sweater and a watch on her left wrist. The background is dark with vertical black lines on the sides.) The presentation will be on February 26 at 12:30 p.m. in Lynn Hall, Room 1136. In her talk, Dr. Ruple will describe the structure, design, and emerging findings of the Dog Aging Project, a large-scale longitudinal study of companion dogs across the United States. Although initially motivated by questions related to aging, the project has evolved into a comprehensive platform for studying the effects of genetics, environment, and lifestyle on health outcomes across the lifespan. Check out the article at https://vet.purdue.edu/news.
We're proud of our team! Dr. Audrey Ruple will speak at Purdue's Coppoc One Health Lecture on Feb. 26 about dogs as sentinels of environmental exposure and insights from the Dog Aging Project.
