Research

Dr. Trepanier's research focuses on genetically determined differences in xenobiotic detoxification and their effect on individual and race/breed risks of  adverse outcomes. The two major areas of research in her laboratory are: 1) the risk factors for sulfonamide drug hypersensitivity reactions in dogs and humans, and 2) the role of variation in gluthathione-S-transferases and cancer risk in dogs. 

Responsibilities

Director, Clinician Scientist Training Programs
Director, Small Animal Internal Medicine Residency training program

Clinical Interests

Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, particularly adverse drug reactions and drug interactions.
Small animal internal medicine, particularly hematology and hepatology.

Graduate Training

Member, Graduate faculties of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Molecular and Environmental Toxicology, and Comparative Biosciences
