Karin Allenspach is a clinician-scientist and Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. She is currently employed as Professor of Comparative Medicine at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA, and is a PI of the SMART Translational Medicine Lab at the University of Georgia, which focuses on the development and culture of adult stem stem-cell-derived organoids from dogs. Dr. Allenspach has successfully supervised 16 PhD students, 23 MS students and numerous veterinary and undergraduate students in her lab. Her goal is to contribute to the reduction of live animal use in drug discovery by replacing some of the pre-clinical screening with canine organoids.
Her latest efforts have resulted in the founding of a start-up company (3D Health Solutions, Inc.) with the goal of commercializing assays for drug screening based on organoid methods.
