Baker Institute for Animal Health 2001 Annual Report

"Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.” Elizabeth Taylor The Baker Institute is dedicated to advancing veterinary medicine through the study o f infectious diseases, im m unology, genetics and reproduction.

Our Vision is to serve the animals that so faithfully serve mankind.

Our Mission is to improve animal health through basic and applied research.

Our Goal is to be the leading institution in animal health research worldwide.

The Baker Institute for Animal Health... Advancing Veterinary Medicine through Research since 1950 Message from the Director

In 2001 the Baker Institute for Animal Health began its second half-century with "Like the body that is made a flying start, led by the spectacular success in gene therapy achieved by Dr. Gus up of different limbs and Aguirre’s research team. Other programs also made advances, including those in organs, all mortal creatures osteoarthritis and hip dysplasia, erythropoietin, infectious diseases, and canine and equine genomics. Highlights of our programs are included in this report. exist depending on one The Baker Institute is dedicated to improving the health of animals through basic another.” and applied research. Our staff includes virologists and geneticists, computer and Hindu Proverb microscopy specialists, biochemists and veterinary scientists. The Institute is also a site for training the next generation of researchers devoted to animal health our graduate and veterinary students and post-doctoral fellows. The Baker scientists are supported by a diverse staff who are equally committed to the Institutes mission. Finally, the Institute is linked to other veterinary and medical institutions around the world, and to hundreds of veterinary practitioners who provide primary health care for companion animals—yours, mine, and our neighbors. The primary goal of the Baker Institute is to improve animal health through research. Providing a working environment that matches the high level and outstanding quality of our research programs has been the highest priority for the Baker Institute since the late 1990s. Our recent progress has been remarkable: in June 2001 the Institute broke ground on a capital project that includes a 32,ooo-square-foot Director Doug Antczak on site at the new laboratory facility fo r the Baker Institute laboratory building and a 100-seat lecture auditorium. These state-of-the-art new facilities are scheduled for completion in the early fall of 2002 (see pp. 12-13 f°r details). Our entire staff are keenly expectant of the opportunities for research that these new facilities will bring. These developments—and discoveries yet to be made—would not be possible without the generous support of individuals and organizations who share our commitment to advancing veterinary medicine for future generations of companion animals. Your dedication to animal health sustains and strengthens the commitment of the entire staff of the Baker Institute. It is my privilege to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your investment in the work we do.

Sincerely,

A forerunner in canine research since 1950, the Baker Institute has been involved in the development of almost every vaccine for the prevention of infectious diseases in dogs—the distemper and parvovirus vaccines most notable among them.

2 Profiles in Discovery: The Faces of the Baker Institute

For more than fifty years, the Baker Institute has been a

world leader in veterinary research. Millions of companion

animals have been saved as a result of discoveries made here

at the Institute— discoveries that include the development and

evaluation of the distemper and canine parvovirus vaccines

as well as production of genetic tests for inherited diseases.

The following pages highlight just a few of the dedicated

individuals who help make such discoveries possible— from

professors to graduate research assistants to veterinary students

to our private supporters. These individuals represent the

collective spirit of commitment found at the Baker Institute to

advance veterinary medicine through research.

20 Partners in Progress: Private Support at the Baker Institute in 2001

Since its founding in 1950, the Baker Institute has depended upon donations

from veterinarians and private individuals for much of the financial support

that has made its practical research programs possible and successful.

The Baker Institute is also privileged to enjoy support from an extensive

community of dedicated people who care deeply about animal health issues and

the advancement of veterinary medicine. Such gifts are vital to the continued

strength of the Institutes companion animal research programs.

The following pages highlight the generous spirit of the many supporters who

have demonstrated their concern for the health and welfare of our animal friends

by supporting the work of scientists at the Baker Institute.
