Alonso Guedes, DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl. ACVA

Dr. Alonso Guedes is a DVM, PhD and board certified veterinary anesthesiologist interested in understanding how calcium and lipid signaling are involved in chronic disease biology. Diseases of interest include osteoarthritis, laminitis and asthma.

Veterinary Anesthesia and Pain Medicine

Our laboratory is invested in the discovery of novel and actionable targets for the treatment of chronic painful conditions such as osteoarthritis, laminitis and asthma, using basic and translational models. Current work focuses on two target proteins, CD38 (calcium signaling) and sEH (lipid metabolism).
