Dr. Allen Page, an assistant professor working with inflammation and health, has recently received research funding from The Foundation For The Horse, which is incorporated by the American Association for Equine Practitioners (AAEP).

Through serial evaluation of messenger RNA in horses diagnosed with and receiving professional rehabilitation for suspensory ligament, tendon or stifle injuries, Dr. Page’s research seeks to define patterns that may ultimately improve understanding and maximize healing responses following injury. This would modernize current return to activity guidelines for common orthopedic and soft tissue injuries in horses.
