APrf Anne Peaston
Associate Professor
School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences
College of Science
I am a veterinary scientist with long-standing interests in the biology of cancer, using rodent models to investigate basic cell and molecular biology aspects. Since my appointment to the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences 8 years ago, I have applied this interest to clinical veterinary oncology research and in the last 3 years have discontinued work with rodent models. My interests are broad, and include for example the molecular underpinnings of feline-specific insecticide sensitivity, chemotherapy for canine osteosarcoma, comparative molecular features of mast cell neoplasia in animals, and inherited blood disorders of dogs. Developing a reliable evidence base for the practise of veterinary medicine depends in part on accurate knowledge of the epidemiology of inherited and acquired conditions affecting the animal population. I am a member of a large collaborative project using VetCompass Australia's centralized, automated, real-time Australia-wide clinical data collection system, that is starting to yield epidemiologic insights into companion animal health and disease.

Teaching Interests
I teach principles and practise of clinical and basic comparative oncology, veterinary clinical haematology, and pharmacology of chemotherapy agents used in veterinary oncology to DVM1 and DVM2 students. From time to time I teach other aspects of companion animal veterinary internal medicine such as diseases of the respiratory, nervous and urinary systems. My students (one or two per year) excel in the DVM1 Clinical Research Course, and their work is instrumental in setting up different research projects. Much of my teaching is in small groups in the Companion Animal Health Center on the Roseworthy Campus.
