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
